Unpublished secrets “Only the enlightened ruler and the wise general will use the highest intelligence of the army for espionage purposes and thus achieve great results” - Sun Tzu. The concept of espionage is a great accumulation of mind games and perseverance. This creates a climate of suspense in life, which could impact one country at a time. Espionage also sends radioactivity to different countries, sending information about their plans and integrations. The idea of ​​espionage not only affects the person behind the "mask", but also the loving family member brought in to defend someone who has betrayed their country. The Falcon and the Snowman by Robert Lindsey tells the story of how two simple young men from California turn into Soviet spies and find themselves in a world of trouble. While "espionage" may not be of interest to one's mindset, Robert Lindsey's The Falcon and the Snowman and important book reviews provide the reader with factual information about the true meaning of espionage for the Soviet Union.

The Falcon and the Snowman is the starting point into the lives of these spies and a behind-the-scenes look at how American and Russian operations work. The world revolves around who is the most powerful and who can conquer everyone. This leads to a theory that this century and many more to come will have to contend with. Is the country people live in really what they think it is? Or quite simply a game between countries in search of recognition. There may be more to uncover than meets the eye, but what will become of spies in the years to come is the mystery behind it all and an adventure the world must endure..
