On this Compendium Podcast, our host Michael Stickler interviews Jack Barsky, author of Reversed.

Deep Undercover is the memoir of Jack Barsky. Barsky was born four years after the end ow WWII in East Germany. While studying Chemistry he was recruited by the KGB. Years later he started his career as an illegal sleeper agent in the United States. After ten years of spying for the Soviets Barsky quit the KGB, and nine years later he was discovered by the FBI. Today Barsky is a US citizen. What happened in between is a tale of gut-wrenching choices, appalling betrayals, Barsky’s turbulent inner world, and the secret life he lived for years without getting caught.

What makes Jack unique is the fact that he was born and raised in East Germany where he was recruited by the KGB. During the 1980s he spent ten years as an undercover illegal agent in the United States spying for the Soviet Union. Today he is a United States citizen whose life story was featured in May of 2015 on CBS 60 Minutes. His memoir “Deep Undercover” was released on March 21, 2017. The book has been translated into German, Swedish and Polish. Jack’s story has received international attention with features on British, French, German, Polish, Turkish and Japanese TV. In the United States Jack has appeared on, among others, CNN, MSNBC, FOX, The Daily Show, A&E, and the Glenn Beck Program.

Rather than retiring to the golf course, Jack has embarked on his sixth career as an author, public speaker and blogger. To date he has given more than 100 lectures and presentations both across the United States and in Europe. Jack lives with his wife and eleven-year-old daughter in Covington, Georgia.
