About this listen

For eighteen years, the Soviet Union could read the United States Navy's most secret messages — more than a million of them. They bought the keys from a Navy warrant officer who walked into their embassy and offered to sell them. This is the documented story of the Walker spy ring: a family of spies, the cipher machine that failed, and the ex-wife who finally broke it.
