<DIV><B>From deep within imperial Japan, a Soviet agent smuggled out intelligence that helped the Allies win the war</B><BR /><BR />Richard Sorge was dispatched to Tokyo in 1933 to serve the spymasters of Moscow. For eight years, he masqueraded as a Nazi journalist and burrowed deep into the German embassy, digging for the secrets of Hitler&rsquo;s invasion of Russia and the Japanese plans for the East. In a nation obsessed with rooting out moles, he kept a high profile&mdash;boozing, womanizing, and operating entirely under his own name. But he policed his spy ring scrupulously, keeping such a firm grip that by the time the Japanese uncovered his infiltration, he had done irreversible damage to the cause of the Axis.<BR /><BR />The first definitive account of one of the most remarkable espionage sagas of World War II,&#160;<I>Target Tokyo</I>&#160;is a tightly wound portrayal of a man who risked his life for his country, hiding in plain sight.</DIV>
