Deep Undercover

My Secret Life and Tangled Allegiances as a KGB Spy in America

By: Jack Barsky, Cindy Coloma

Narrated by: Stephen Bowlby

One decision can end everything...or lead to unlikely redemption.

Millions watched the CBS 60 Minutes special on Jack Barsky in 2015. Now, in this fascinating memoir, the Soviet KGB agent tells his story of gut-wrenching choices, appalling betrayals, his turbulent inner world, and the secret life he lived for years without getting caught.

On October 8, 1978, a Canadian national by the name of William Dyson stepped off a plane at O'Hare International Airport and proceeded toward customs and immigration.

Two days later, William Dyson ceased to exist.

The identity was a KGB forgery, used to get one of their own - a young, ambitious East German agent - into the United States.

The plan succeeded, and the spy's new identity was born: Jack Barsky. He would work undercover for the next decade, carrying out secret operations during the Cold War years - until a surprising shift in his allegiance challenged everything he thought he believed.

Deep Undercover reveals the secret life of this man without a country and tells the story no one ever expected him to tell.

Really interesting story!

it's interesting to distinguish the differences between James Bond and this story. This story is a lot more down to earth and it's really interesting to hear the kinds of lives that undercover spies really lead.

Great story till the last hour

Great story, very interesting. Could have done without the religious preaching at the end, skip the last hour.

Great story

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it plays out like a movie without the violence.

The narrator also did a great job in my opinion.

Would definitely recommend.

Outstanding

I finished this audio book the day I began it because I just couldn't stop listening to the story.

An unbelievable true story. must read!

A great story of a forner Soviet Spy who decides to fully change sides, and become a regular American citizen. His strong bond, and love for his new born baby daughter changes how he views life for ever.
