My parents were cleaning out their book shelf and gave me a book they thought I would like to read. I am in the middle of reading it.
I am really shocked because it is a true story and I had never heard of the guy.
It is called "Family of Spies" , Inside the John Walker Spy Ring written by Pete Early.
John Walker was arrested and spent the rest of his life in jail for stealing American top Navy Secrets and selling them to the Soviets during the late 60s through a portion of the 80s. He did it to earn vast amounts of money. He recruited some other people to do it too who got caught. I don't want to give too much away, in case you want to read it.
As I said, I am in the middle of reading it. And as I read it, that John Walker is a horrible man. He is so arrogant, immoral and just evil.
If you ever read it, you will hate him too and be glad he got caught.
Have you heard of this guy?

Just trying to remember who was in it, think it was powers booth but am not sure.

It is good but scary how he got away with it for so long.

I never heard of John Walker but it sounds like an interesting book especially based on a true story.

If he and his recruits had never gotten caught, no telling how much more harm he would have caused America.
