Breaking the Ring

Written by John Barron

Narrated by J. Charles

For 17 years, the Soviets knew every military move we made! That is how damaging the Walker family spy ring was to our national security. For the better part of two decades, John Walker, his son Michael, brother Arthur, and friend Jerry Whitworth comprised the KGB's greatest asset. Meticulously detailing the FBI investigation which finally broke the case, John Barron reveals how close the United States came to disaster - and how the repercussions may linger for decades.

Reviews for Breaking the Ring

[sandydog1_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I know. It's not terribly well-written, it's mildly chauvinistic, campy, 'not very "PC" and very "80s" in tone. But this is quite the pre-internet page-turner. 5 stars for subject matter, 4 for effort.
