    About this audiobook

    Some people call him the smartest baseball player of all time. Moe Berg could speak twelve languages—and make up signs on the baseball diamond. How did this major league catcher go on to become an American spy in World War II? HIDDEN HISTORY books share the important roles these men and women played in our nation's history as spies -- hidden in plain sight.
