Fiction book.
About: A novel of the tragic life of a great man who sought to do good, but mis-stepped and helped produce evil and suffering, instead. The titan of the title is Mikhail Gorin, a world-famous author inspired by Maxim Gorki.
Author: Igor Sergeyevich Gouzenko was a cipher clerk for the Soviet Embassy to Canada in Ottawa, Ontario. He defected on September 5, 1945, with 109 documents on Soviet espionage activities in the West. This forced Prime Minister Mackenzie King to call a Royal Commission to investigate espionage in Canada. The New York Times described Gouzenko's actions as having "awakened the people of North America to the magnitude and the danger of Soviet espionage."
