In the 20 chapters the author has detailed as much recollection as possible of the activities of the 470th CIC Detachment in the Canal Zone during the Cold War, 1953-54. The story is told as a first person narrative but with the author using a different name. Each chapter serves to tell an individual anecdote with many evidences of the confusion that existed among agents at the time. The anecdotes are true, the language and detail are as recalled in later years. The reader can determine that much of the average day's work was quite ordinary and methodical.
