With intrigue that rivals the best le Carre novels, Russians Among Us tells the urgent story of Russia’s espionage efforts against the United States and the West from the end of the Cold War to the present
Spies have long been a source of great fascination in the world of fiction, but sometimes the best spy stories happen in real life. Russians Among Us tells the full story of Putin’s escalating espionage campaign in the West, the Russian ‘deep cover’ spies who penetrated the US and the years-long FBI hunt to capture them. This book also details the recruitment, running, and escape of one of the most important spies of modern times, a man who worked inside the heart of Russian intelligence. In this thrilling account Corera tracks not only the history, but the astonishing evolution of Russian espionage, including the use of ‘cyber illegals’ who continue to manipulate us today and pose a significant threat to the 2020 election.
Like a scene from the TV drama The Americans, in the summer of 2010 a group of Russian deep cover sleeper agents were arrested. It was the culmination of a decade-long investigation, and ten people, including Anna Chapman, were swapped for four people held in Russia. At the time it was seen simply as a throwback to the Cold War. But that would prove to be a costly mistake. It was a sign that the Russian threat had never gone away and more importantly, it was shifting into a much more disruptive new phase. Today, the danger is clearer than ever following the poisoning in the UK of one of the spies who was swapped, Sergei Skripal, and the growing evidence of Russian interference in American life. Russians Among Us describes for the first time the story of deep cover spies in America and the FBI agents who tracked them. In intimate and riveting detail, it reveals new information about today’s spies—as well as those trying to catch them and those trying to kill them.

Uwielbiam Dereka Perkinsa jako lektora. To już druga książka, którą czyta, która pochłonęła mnie bez reszty. Na początku dowiadujemy sie o ruchach Rosja-USA, a pózniej autor przechodzi do Europy i zaczynaja sie oczy otwierać jak duża kampanie dezinformacji prowadzi Putin. Wszyscy mamy inteligentnych znajomych, którzy czasem opowiadają jakieś banialuki z pogranicza teorii konspiracyjnych. Według mnie to są ludzie, którzy padli ofiara nowego typu wojny, ktora rozpętała Rosja. Warto przeczytac i być świadomym kim byli kiedyś ukryci agenci i kto zastapił ich teraz.
