Jack KneeceRecensioni

This is a really cursory overview of the deception units of WW2, and some of the employments of this force. There really wasn't much analysis or research or really anything other than a few accounts; I was hoping to learn more about the methodology and theories developed, and those were pretty much absent. It's a short book, though, and there wasn't a lot written anywhere about these units.

This book chronicles the life of John Walker, a former Navy warrant officer who was the mastermind behind a family spy ring that included his son and brother. He and his family was directly responsible for jeopardizing American security throughout the 17 years that they were actively spying for the Russians. I really enjoyed this book even though I don't usually like books about espionage. I found that it got extremely technical towards the end of the book and I have to say that I was shocked by the outcome of the Walker case. I give this book an A+!
