Narrative Toward Books The Charm School

Deep in the heart of Russia, a group of casually dressed young men are learning a different kind of lesson. The undergraduates sprawled around a game board aren't chilling out on campus: the young KGB agents attending the Charm School are brushing up on their American.
When a young tourist goes to the aid of a stranger on a dark Russian road, he is astonished to find a fellow American on the run. The man has been missing for over a decade, plucked from the jungles of Vietnam to become an unwilling tutor at the institution. Now his former students are poised to strike at the heart of America.

Judgment Epithetical Books The Charm School

This was a very long story that left me unsatisfied at the end. It's quite scary to think that something like this could actually happen in Russia. Rating this at middle-of-the-road with 5 out of 10.

This novel, set in the Glastnost era of the Soviet Union, when relations with the United States are improving as they get out of the Cold War, an American tourist comes across an Air Force major as he is driving toward Moscow. He contacts the US embassy in Moscow. Shortly after, the tourist disappears. This leads to American attaches Sam Hollis and Lisa Rhodes uncovering a spy school where they are teaching Soviets how to become Americans. The teachers at the spy schools are Vietnam MIAs. All of

I really despised this story. But Ill be lenient. 1 of 10 stars

When a young American tourist (Gregory Fisher) picks up a U.S. POW on the run while touring Russia, (in his Pontiac Grand Am) the excitement begins and doesn't stop.This intense and fast-moving spy thriller brings the evil of the Soviet Union to life during the Cold War with well-defined characters, loads of KGB treachery and a horror of a secret deep in the woods.Perhaps a little wordy at times, and I did not care much for the female protagonist, but the brave Colonel Hollis and his sarcastic

This book is one of those that you wish could be made into a good movie. Oh wait a second have you see a new TV series The Americans? I bet the idea for The Americans came from The Charm School.

Unless it

Eventually I changed and DeMille's books changed and I drifted away,but the fond memories remained. The Charm School was one of my favorites.I read it in 1989 when I was twenty-one. I remember it being an intelligent and observant novel

A spy-mystery from Demille, when Demille was a younger writer still developing his sarcastic wit. Even then, he could make a seemingly improbable story believable and highly entertaining. For anyone over 40 who remembers the tail-end of the long and mistrust-filled Cold War, this book will resonate.As usual, DeMille weaves an imaginative story involving characters you love, spies in the late 1980's, the American Embassy in Moscow, a bit of Russian history, Vietnam MIAs, a training school for
