"Letters from a Soviet Prison: The Personal Journal and Correspondence of CIA U-2 Pilot Francis Gary Powers" offers an intimate look into the experiences of Francis Gary Powers, a CIA U-2 pilot shot down over the Soviet Union in 1960. Compiled by his son, Francis Gary Powers Jr., the book features previously unpublished personal journals and over 150 letters exchanged during his nearly two-year imprisonment. These documents provide a unique perspective on the U-2 incident, Powers' trial for espionage, and his eventual exchange for Soviet spy Rudolf Abel in 1962
