He is assignedto the Army Security Agency and begins a life of covert operation as a voiceinterceptor.In the late 1960s, McCurry arrives at Teufelsberg, a super-secret listeningstation in West Berlin. McCurry and his fellow operatives have direct access tosome of the most sensitive conversations of top offi cials of the East Germangovernment's Central Committee in East Berlin. Unfortunately, McCurry's groupof interpreters and analysts are supervised by regular Army personnel, whohave no idea of the tasks being carried out by those under their command.McCurry's supervisors are more interested in how their troops perform on thedrill field than how they are fulfilling their assigned intelligence mission, andthat doesn't sit well with McCurry when national security is at stake. It doesn't take him long to recognize that it will require a combination of guile and humorto overcome the obstacles put in his path by clueless supervisors.But the incompetence of the leadership ultimately becomes deadly, forcingMcCurry to make a choice between following orders ... or facing a court martial.
