Chief of the CIA station in Prague for nearly a year, Baier has been following the Dubcek government's efforts to reform the country's rigid communist system and move closer to Western Europe. On a warm August night, the Soviet Army rolls into Czechoslovakia to crush the reform program and ensure the country's subservience to the Warsaw Pact. Baier must move quickly to protect his officers, his family, and his Czechoslovak allies and assets from death and deportation by the Red Army and Soviet intelligence. At the same time, Baier must determine who his true friends are among the local officials and the foreign agents spread throughout the country's capital. Only when he reaches the border with Austria is Baier certain whom he can trust. Even then, new surprises await

The Prague Spring is the seventh book in Bill Rapp's Cold War Thriller series, which draws on his forty-year career with the Central Intelligence Agency, as well his previous time as an academic historian on Modern Europe (B.A. from the University of Notre Dame, M.A. from the University of Toronto, and Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University). He taught for a year at Iowa State before moving to Washington for an eventful four decades spent primarily in Washington but with tours in Europe, the Middle East, and the White House. Upon his retirement in 2017, Bill was awarded the Distinguished Career Intelligence Medal. Bill also has a stand-alone thriller about the fall of the Berlin Wall, Berlin Breakdown, and a three-book P.I. series set outside Chicago, where he lives with his wife, their older daughter, and two dogs.
