Summary "The Cool War" by Andrew Fetler is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The book explores themes of espionage and identity against the backdrop of a tense political climate. It follows two master spies, Pashkov from the Soviet Union and Colonel James from the United States, as they engage in a high-stakes game of deception and intrigue. In this story, Pashkov is tasked with impersonating Colonel James in a plan to gather intelligence. Throughout the narrative, Pashkov navigates a series of clever and comical challenges, including a botched kidnapping, misunderstandings with his superiors, and his interactions with various characters, such as the quirky and ambitious writer Boris Knackenpast. As Pashkov faces the complications of his mission, he must outsmart foes and allies alike, while dealing with the absurdities of espionage and government operations. Ultimately, the novel provides a satirical yet engaging look at the Cold War era, showcasing the lengths to which spies go to maintain appearances and achieve their goals.
