With six previous novels. James Carroll has
established his reputation as a best-selling
author who combines vivid st6rytelfing witb a
passionate moral concern. His books always
confront both the political complexities of con-
temporary American life and the intensely
personal struggles of men and women to find
themselves and one another.
Firebird. James Carroll s seventh novel_ is
about the most fateful act of espionage of the
twentieth century. Set in the era of Hiss.
Fuchs. McCarthy and the Rosenbergs, all of
whom feature in this story, Firebird is a
breathtaking political thriller. But like the best
works of tbat genre--Carroll is often com-
pared to Graham Greene--it is also a disturb-
ing examination of our political and moral
disenchantment. Like the classic Russian
folktale from which the title comes, Firebird is
a moving and passionate love story. But it is
also a novel of suspense, the outcome of which
is as shocking as it is unpredictable.
The time is 1949. When American officials
learn that the Russians have detonated an
atomic weapon, they realize that the most
tightly held secret in their nation s history has
been penetrated. How? By whom? Is the
traitor still in place? Is the future of atomic
research jeopardized? The FBI. in its most
urgent mission ever. is charged with finding
out.
