See You Later Alligator
Blackford Oakes in Havana
by William F. Buckley, Jr.
Publisher: Doubleday & Company, Inc.
Copyright:  1985
First Edition

President John F. Kennedy listens to the secret proposal and approves Proyecto Caiman: Operation Alligator. Can anyone tread the deadly, delicate waters of diplomacy between Cuba and the United States (on what turns out to be the eve of the Cuban Missile Crisis) better than Blackford Oakes? He is JFK's personal choice 00 and co-star -- in this, the latest in one of the most acclaimed series in espionage fiction.

See You Later Alligator is Buckley's biggest, best novel. Rich in dialogue, debate, daring, ingenuity -- and in a mutual attraction with tragic consequences -- it includes among other surprises, an unexpected full-length portrait of the man called Che.

Bill Buckley's hero Blackford Oakes is a paragon -- not always of virtue. In this much-praised series of novels the brainy, irreverent, handsome Yale- and CIA-trained agent progresses from being a new boy on the East-West bloc to a senior field operative. He shoulders increasing responsibility in facing situations gone very wrong, and in dealing with street-smart spies and alley-wise thugs as well as with world leaders -- with almost everybody except his beloved Sally, who loves him but not his career. The Oakes novels are a phenomenon by a phenomenon.
