How This KGB Spy Went Undercover as an American Dad

Описание: He’s mowing the lawn, tossing a baseball with his kids, and cheering at little league games—just another textbook suburban dad living the American dream.

But behind that wholesome grin was a man living a lie so deep, not even his own wife and children knew the truth. “Jack Barsky” didn’t exist. He was a ghost—his real name, Albrecht Dittrich, a KGB spy sent by the Soviet Union with one mission: infiltrate America from the inside.

Using a stolen identity, he built a fake life, stole US secrets, and vanished into middle-class America for over a decade…completely undetected.
But when the KGB notified Jack that his cover had been blown and demanded he return home immediately, he did something no spy was ever supposed to do… he refused.

And what happens next is one of the craziest espionage tales you’ve never heard of. This is the insane, unbelievable true story of Jack Barsky—the Soviet agent who chose diapers over espionage, suburbia over the Soviet Union, and risked it all for a second chance at a real life.
