À propos de cet audio

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.

It is a great book until the final few chapters. Up till that point, his story was incredible and on point, following a predictable line where his real life built up to a climax that you would expect from a great fictional story. I cannot stress enough that this section of the book is interesting, thought provoking, challenging and best of all, fun to read!
However, the final few chapters see a shift to him just talking about god and Jesus. It was at this point that I saw that Jack was just someone who was love lust. Throughout the book it is a common trend that Jack thinks about his current wife in the most devoted way but was unable to do anything for them. But once he was out of the spy game, it’s like he chose religion as an awkwardly strong gesture to his wife to prove she is different than the other families he left behind.
I do not have a problem with the concept of this section but it all feels unnatural, forced and just a way for him to prove to his wife that she impacted a KGB trained agent. It seems as if everything was dramatized for a build up to believing in Jesus. So in one of my most conflicted reviews, this book is awesome and equally awkward & forced.
