 Cold War spy, red engineers
Most accounts of the Rosenberg Ring skip past engineers Joel Barr and Alfred Sarant, devout communists who managed to flee the country in 1948 just before the FBI definitively identified them as Soviet spies.
Usdin, a Washington writer on science policy, encountered Barr -- who initially used the name "Joseph Berg" -- while on assignment in Moscow in 1990.
He makes plain that he and Salant, along with Morton Sobell and Rosenberg, gave the Soviets technology that was "extremely valuable to the USSR, especially during the early years of the Cold War." For instance, Barr built the first Soviet radar-guided antiaircraft gun, used with deadly efficiency against American planes in Vietnam.
