This revision now concludes the Precursory Chapter Index to Volume One in this series.

The Precursory Chapters listed in this Index here may differ from the final versions in print. This precursory Index will be continually expanded, as more precursory Chapters are added.

This is both a work that is still in the research and precursory editorial process. As we dug deeper and deeper into the story of James Dudley Wilmeth, and his reason for being sent to Moscow in 1944, it became obvious that not only does that phase of his life begin a new chapter, for us it also marked the start of new volume. Therefore we will now conclude this volume with Precursory Chapter Thirty-five, and the precursory chapter that was to have become Precursory Chapter Thirty-six in this first volume and titled "Our Man in Moscow", will now become the first chapter of the second volume in the series.

A link to the Second Volume will appear here
