Baer delivers a well-researched and thorough examination of one of the biggest questions about the CIA and it’s lapses during the Cold War. In the process, he skewers the closed-minded, protective and dismissive attitudes that allowed traitors like Ames to do so much damage over so many years.

All that is diminished, however, by a narration that makes Baer’s otherwise compelling story a difficult listen. Boring and flat were the least of the issues. The biggest problem for me was the incredible number of mispronunciations of fairly common words and place-names… frustrating beyond belief as a listener.

The Fourth Man is still worth a read, if you can’t handle the frustrating narration. It’s an important story and compelling for anyone interested in the Cold War and the history of espionage during that period.
