Title: Sleeping Dogs and Popcicles
Description: In Sleeping Dogs and Popsicles, Eugene H. Van Dee takes us from war-torn Warsaw to the golden years of postwar Paris and Rome, and introduces us to the fabulous characters, moguls, politicians, philosophers, and movie stars that left their mark on that era. Interwoven with this kaleidoscopic diary are the author's discovery of the Vatican's top secret files and his encounters with the mysterious General Grigori.

A member of Soviet Military Intelligence and a clandestine Vatican mole, Grigori played a critical role in the undoing of the Soviet Union. Van Dee's personal narrative sheds revealing new light on the behind-the-scenes events surrounding the downfall of the former Soviet Union. A fascinating biography as well as a study of a key point in modern history, Sleeping Dogs and Popsicles is easily accessible to both the general reader and the serious historian.
