WWII comes to an end in the pages of this volume, spanning 1944-1947. Budd is there when FDR suffers a stroke and dies. He is around a few months later when Truman asks him to continue to be Agent 103 and to travel again to the Soviet Union, this time to get a better idea of what Stalin's plans for post-war Europe are. The events conclude with activity at the Nuremberg Trials.
