The Spy

Jack Barsky was a college student in 1970 when the KGB knocked on
the door of his dorm room to inquire about his plans after college.
“I was told to broaden my knowledge of culture, of literature, of
music, to become a well-educated person who could operate in higher
strata of society.”  Jack Barsky wrote a book about his life.
It’s called Deep Undercover: My Secret Life and Tangled Allegiances
as a KGB Spy in America. Criminal is going back on tour in
