The totalitarian East has triumphed in a massive invasion, and the United States has fallen to a dictatorial superpower bent on total domination. That power is consolidating its grip through concentration camps, police state tactics, and a total monopoly upon the very thoughts of the conquered populace. A tiny enclave of scientists and soldiers survives, unbeknownst to America’s new rulers. It’s six against six million - but those six happen to include a scientific genius, a master of subterfuge and disguise who learned his trade as a lawyer-turned-hobo, and a tough-minded commander....

Differences in the Available Versions
This story is an old favorite of mine; there are three versions of this story available on Audible.
The version narrated by Jim Roberts is the audio book of the actual story.
The other two versions, Dimension X (this one) and X Minus One are radio dramatizations of an adaptation by Ernest Kinoy and depart significantly from the original.
This version, Dimension X, broadcast in 1951 is okay, but I found the voice acting in X Minus One slightly better.

Excellent short story
I like all of the "Dimension X" series, but this is one of my all time favorites. My kids even enjoyed it and wanted more.
