Reviews

[Gregory Rhoden · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent book about the Walker and Hanson spy rings. I read it years ago as a budding political science student during my undergraduate years and couldn’t put it down. Much of the federal government’s enhanced security clearance protocols stem from lessons learned coming out of these espionage disasters.
