Publisher's Summary
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.

God has the all powerful ability to show us how He is in control and change our hearts. This book shows that through the life of a KGB spy. Deeply moving.

Mostly excellent
Great story, until the evangelism, then it lost me. It’s a biography, so that’s the man’s story, but seemed a bit disjointed.

WHAT A PRIVILEGE TO SHARE IN THIS BIOGRAPHY OF A SOVIET SPY
Initially I was reluctant to commit to listening to “DEEP UNDERCOVER” by Jack Barsky. I was so glad I did. Not only is it one of the most powerful books I’ve been privileged to listen to but also it was from the Plus library price included with membership. I cannot recommend highly enough how Brilliant I found this book. Mixed reviews but for me the book is stunning. Often literally on the edge of my seat when he recalled close calls with the KGB.. Absolutely a worthwhile Listen. Cliff.

Amazing Story
This is a fascinating story about a man who was groomed to be a Soviet spy and planted in the USA. I t is incredible the training that he undertook before moving overseas and how hard he worked for the cause of communism that he believed in. Also amazing was the transformation that happened while in the US. and the relationships he made and had to abandon. Great story.

great story but......
one of the great stories ruined by the last chapter.
Stating that a person cannot have a moral compass without your God is certainly an opinion, but simply verfiably false.
