I think that the Louis Kaufman book, Moe Berg: Athlete, Scholar, Spy, 1974... that was the book sponsored by the brother, I think.

My Brother Morris Berg, The Real Moe, 1976, is the book the sister sponsored. It is quite rare. Ethyl wrote it. I think the printing might have been 750 paperbound copies. Here's where one sold on eBay at what I consider a good price...

Nicholas Dawidoff wrote The Catcher was a Spy; The Mysterious Life of Moe Berg. A good baseball book.

The brother, Samuel, had Moe live with him for 17 years. Eventually Sam had enough, and asked Moe to leave. He refused. Sam had him legally removed. Moe then lived with his sister Ethel in Belleville, NJ. Upon Moe's death she scattered his ashes in Israel.
