The book includes the novels "Seventeen Moments of Spring" and "Bomb for the Chairman," connected by a common hero - the Soviet intelligence officer Isaev, with whom the reader has already met in other works of the writer ("The password is not needed," "Major Whirlwind"). The novel "Bomb for the Chairman" exposes the dangerous activities of international monopolistic concerns that deftly use neo-fascist and nationalist elements both in the West and in the East. The novel calls for vigilance, for the intensification of the struggle of progressive forces against the secret machinations of the enemies of the world.
