Playing With the Enemy by Gary W. Moore is a historical fiction book about Gene Moore, the author's father, whose professional baseball career with the Brooklyn Dodgers was interrupted by World War II. The title comes from the elder Moore's time as a guard in a top-secret prisoner of war camp that was holding the crew of a U-boat 505, a captured German submarine.[4] The book was the winner of the 2006 Military Writers Society of America Book of the Year.[5]
