Аннотация

To be a MiG pilot in Russia is to be as close to heaven as communism allows. Millions are spent on your training. And nothing is too lavish for your living. Lt. Viktor Belenko wa s a MiG-25 pilot — one of Russia's elite warriors and the supreme expression of the ideal communist man. Or so everyone believed. Then on September 6, 1976, while on a routine training flight, (he) veered off course — and embarked on an incredible escape, an unforgiveable betrayal of his nation, and a daring and torturous personal journey of hope and courage. This is the thrilling true story of how Russia's greatest air military secret was stolen and delivered right to America's lap. But it's more — it's the fascinating life story of a peasant's son who grew up to possess every luxury and honor Russia can bestow. And who threw it all away for one desperate chance to possess a dream. The American Dream.
