Reviews
"[Walker] justifies his treason through criticism of Cold War American society and includes fascinating details of his actions...His book is suitable for the espionage collections of all libraries." Library Journal, September 15, 2008 "Walker's memoir of his life inside and outside prison is interesting. The espionage not only ruined his life, it also tore apart his family. Although Walker's claim that he is in no small part responsible for the end of the cold war strains cedulity, his account will give readers something to ponder." --ForeWord magazine, Vol. 11, No. 6, November/ December 2008
