Deep undercover

My Secret Life and Tangled Allegiances as a KGB Spy in America
Book • 2017
In 'Deep Undercover,' Jack Barsky recounts his life as a KGB sleeper agent in the United States from 1978 to 1988.

Born in East Germany as Albrecht Dittrich, Barsky was recruited by the KGB and assumed the identity of Jack Barsky, a name taken from a deceased child.

The book details his espionage training, his integration into American society, and his eventual shift in allegiance away from the KGB. It also explores his personal struggles, spiritual awakening, and the consequences of his life in espionage.

The memoir provides a unique insight into the world of Cold War espionage and the human drama behind it.
