In the 1960s and 1970s; American professor Norton Dodge forayed on his own in the Soviet Union; bought the work of underground "unofficial" artists; and brought it out himself or arranged to have it shipped illegally to the United States. John McPhee investigates Dodges clandestine activities in the service of dissident Soviet art; his motives for his work; and the fates of several of the artists whose lives he touched. The Ransom of Russian Art is a suspenseful; chilling; and fascinating report on a covert operation like no other.
