In the aftermath of the Cold War, American intelligence caught three high-profile Russian spies: Aldrich Ames, Edward Lee Howard, and Robert Hanssen. However, rumors have long swirled of another mole, one perhaps more damaging than all the others combined. Perhaps the greatest traitor in American history, perhaps a Russian ruse to tear the CIA apart, or perhaps nothing more than a bogeyman, he is often referred to as the Fourth Man.

Excellent book diminished by narration
Revisado: 07-07-23
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.
