Keith Gave spent six years in the United States Army as a Russian linguist working for the National Security Agency during the Cold War. Nothing could have better prepared him for a career as a sports writer covering hockey for the Detroit Free Press. His 15 years with the newspaper were the highlight of a career spanning nearly four decades in the news industry. He also served as writer/producer for the soon-to-be-released documentary film, "The Russian Five". He lives in Roscommon, Michigan, where he continues to write when hes not sneaking off to cast a fly to the trout on his home waters of the Au Sable River.
Keith Gave, always a terrific reporter, had a front row seat to the most fascinating and colorful chapter of Red Wings history - the Russian Five. At times, he was smack in the middle of it, as an envoy, Russian-speaker and secret-keeper. No one could write this story with the detail, depth and understanding that Gave delivers. The result is a whirlwind story that is at times fantastical, gripping, emotional and even humorous. This book was a long time in the making, but well worth the wait. - Mitch Albom, columnist, Detroit Free Press--Mitch Albom
