Join Stephen Singer to explore the fascinating story of Jonathan Pollard, a U.S. Navy officer and spy who worked as a double agent for the Soviet Union. Employed as a Navy warrant officer, he passed classified military information to the Soviets from the late 1970s until his arrest in 1985. Pollard’s espionage activities included leaking sensitive documents related to U.S. naval operations, causing significant security concerns during the Cold War. His arrest and conviction were part of a broader series of espionage cases during that period, revealing vulnerabilities within U.S. intelligence agencies.
