Ray Batvinis was recently on the Spycraft 101 podcast:
Spycraft 101 host Justin talks with retired FBI Special Agent Raymond J. Batvinis. Ray served in the FBI from 1972 until 1997, working in counterterrorism and counterintelligence, including on the investigations into Ronald Pelton and the Walker spy ring. Shortly after 9/11, he returned to teach the basic counterintelligence course at the FBI Academy at Quantico.
Since retiring, Ray has worked as a historian and author. He has published articles on intelligence history in scholarly journals and on his website, FBIstudies.com.
You might remember Ray from his previous appearance on the podcast for episode 66. Today, he discusses the story of William Weisband, an almost completely forgotten Soviet spy who was nonetheless one of their most valuable assets in the United States before, during, and after World War II.
