Break His Neck!

This is a fascinating, well written book about the John Walker spy ring. The author does a great job giving the gory details about what it was that this guy did and how he finally got caught. It is amazing how a simpleton like Walker can get into a position of such authority. A breach of security on this level can really affect the lives of the young men and women serving in our military, to say nothing of our national security. I am not sure they can really come up with an appropriate punishment for a guy like this. The book also gives you insight into the workings of the KGB and the details about how these espionage operations work. You will enjoy it.

Very Interesting Book

What a scumbag, if spying against our country was not bad enough, this complete waste of a man drags his family and friends into it. All for like $ 1 per page, how did someone this dumb get into the position he was in to do so much harm? The story is very interesting, I could have even written the story and it would be entertaining. Luckily that did not happen and the author did a great job. He constructed the details and time line very well and easy to follow. The explanations of what info Walker was giving out was also presented well. If you are interested in this area then I would suggest getting this book, it is well worth the time and money.
