Sobre IBD

Petro Kondratovych Kravets arrives at a downed American U-2 spy plane on May Day 1960. An experienced optics technician, his work defends the Motherland. Readers follow this Soviet Everyman, his family, and others through the Cold War with its international space race, Cuban missile crisis, Afghan War, and more up to--and past--the collapse of the Soviet Union.Some Advance Praise for Losing Laika:'The portrayal of a downed U-2 pilot that opens Losing Laika is fictional but nonetheless respectful. Dickinson personally knew my dad. Moreover, what follows makes for an engrossing historical read about life on the other side of the Cold War.'- Francis Gary Powers, Jr.
