The First Team is an inspiring book, indeed. It covers the Cold War nightmare of the U.S. being conquered by the Russians, without a shot fired. In a country thoroughly dispirited by such a failure of confidence, how can the invaders be thrown out. John Ball tells us about the First Team, a group of patriots put together by those who saw the debacle coming. The steps to eventual success are exciting, even breathtaking.
