Description: From the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, radio host Jim Bohannon talked with Gregory Feifer about his new book, "Spy Handler: Memoir of a KGB Officer: The True Story of The Man Who Recruited Robert Hanssen & Aldrich Ames." It tells the story of former KGB spy handler Victor Cherkashin who worked for the Soviet intelligence agency from 1953 to 1991 and during that time, recruited Americans to spy for the Soviet Union. In the book, Mr. Cherkashin gives reasons why he believes men like Aldrich Ames and Robert Hannsen turned against their country.

Author Bio: Victor Cherkashin is a former KGB colonel who was stationed in India, Australia, West Germany, and Washington, DC among other locales. He currently runs a private security firm in Russia. Gregory Feifer is a former Radio Free Europe Moscow correspondent while writing pieces for Moscow Times, World Policy Journal, and Agence France-Presse.

Not really. The Keywords, that others have added, pretty much tell the story. The best part was to hear about how Robert Hannsen is being kept - down in the basement of some prison 24/7 with no visitors.

How did you find this out, leadpenny? I constantly check cspan's site every day, and this a.m. they posted nothing for today on c-span 2! They drive me crazy!
I am going to run across the house to reach my tv now to catch it on one of my recorders.

From the Main Page click on TV schedule. From the TV Schedule Page go to the top of the page and click on BookTV. From there go to TV Schedule and you'll get the entire weekend schedule for BookTV.

Thanks,LP. There are wonderful and complete lists where you directed me. Stupid me, I only relied on the page which comes up when I click on TV Schedule! (For about 7 years)! I used to get their email alerts but that was not helpful to me either.
Is there any way to get a book program streaming? One that I choose? Like we can for other choices?
Thanks again for your help.
