A new 12-episode podcast series brings the extraordinary life of a young student turned spy. The life of talented East German student Albrecht Dittrich took an irreversible turn when he decided to accept an invitation to work for the almighty Russian KGB. He was sent to Moscow and trained extensively to become an illegal agent, the elite among spies.
Albrecht Dittrich arrived in the United States in 1978 and developed a new life under the name Jack Barsky. A decade later, in a risky move, he cut ties with the KGB. By 1997, Jack Barsky had become a family man with a successful career, living the American dream, when his past caught up with him and his fate was in the hands of the FBI.
In 2017, Jack Barsky wrote the book Deep Undercover, detailing his life and career as a spy. The book is a real page-turner that gives a unique look into his life, the training as KGB illegal and working in the United States.
In the new podcast series, he tells the story in his own words. In 12 episodes, you will you crawl under Jack's skin and listen how real spies are literally created, and how they operate. The podcast is an excellent additional spoken account of his life as KGB agent, with many new details. I can highly recommend the book, but hearing the story, told by Jack himself, is a truly fascinating.
