The Story and Mind of a Spy; a True Story
John A Walker was a spy for some 17 years, providing the Soviets access to our top military secrets—the ability to read our classified message traffic. He is most notable, however, for recruiting his own family members—his kids and his brother—along with his best navy friend, to form his spy ring. Author Pete Earley spent hundreds of hours interviewing John Walker, his family, associates, and investigators. The story is fascinating—a glimpse into the psychology of a master manipulator, who had no moral code other than his own ego, and his quest for money and his flamboyant lifestyle. John Walker stole —or directed the theft of—cryptographic materials and Top Secret documents, and gave them directly to the KGB in both overseas clandestine meetings in Vienna (mostly) or through domestic country road dead drops near Washington DC. He encouraged his children to follow in his footsteps by joining the military so as to continue a perpetual stream of classified information to the USSR—our Cold War adversary. I enjoy Pete Earley’s writing style. I recently read his “Confessions of a Spy”, the true story of CIA traitor Aldrich Ames, based on jailhouse interviews with Ames himself.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
