Summary

Many people have told their stories on Piers Morgan Uncensored, but none have had a story to tell quite like Jack Barsky. Born Albrecht Dittrich in East Germany in 1949, he became a Russian spy who defected to America and now has a lifetime of secrets and close calls sitting in his past. Today, Jack reveals how flattery drew him into the KGB, the missions he carried out against the west, and the morbid lies he told to keep the FBI, and his handlers, off his back. Now a naturalised American citizen, Jack is frequently called upon as an expert in soviet espionage, but overall enjoys his life at a slower pace. Russia may no longer consider him to be worth their time, but Piers Morgan certainly does. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
