In his latest installment in the Blackford Oakes series William F.
Buckley, Jr., continues to astonish and delight. The year is 1995,
and an energetic senator wants to disarm, perhaps even eliminate,
the CIA. To accumulate the evidence necessary to persuade the
Senate, he needs the cooperation of Blackford Oakes, now retired.
He wants from Oakes an account of his covert activity ten years
earlier, when Oakes served as chief of covert activities for the
CIA. One such activity, as sensitive a secret as any member of the
government ever husbanded, had to do with a plot by young veterans
of the Soviet war against Afghanistan to assassinate the man who
had just assumed the reins of government in Moscow: Mikhail
Gorbachev. President Reagan was in the White House in 1985. What
was his reaction when apprised of a plot by non-Americans to
assassinate a man commonly acknowledged as a tyrant? What will the
frustrated senator do to compel cooperation from Blackford Oakes? A
Very Private Plot takes the reader inside the Kremlin, exhibiting a
detailed knowledge and savoir faire characteristic of the author.
And inside the Reagan White House, known well to the author, and
inside the Clinton White House as well. The forces unleashed in
1985 threaten any resolution between the United States and the
Soviet Union and threaten the lives of a very small unit of young
Russians who remain in the memory as the tale reaches a climax. A
Very Private Plot caps the ten novels that began when, at age
twenty-four, Blackford Oakes was seduced by the Queen of England,
launching him and American readers on travels unrivaled in cold war
fiction for wit and imagination.
