Among the spies were three couples who had lived as Americans for years, and one agent who had lived undercover for so long that he could barely even speak Russian. They had hidden their true identities from their children, neighbours and even their partners.</p><p><em>The Illegals</em> captures the untold history of Russias deep cover spy programme, following its evolution from the talented "great Illegals" of the 1920s and 30s up to the 21st century, when agents maintained their fake identities and loyalties even after the fall of the Soviet Union. Through hundreds of interviews and access to never-before- seen archives, Shaun Walker exposes the colourful history of the KGBs most secretive espionage project.</p>...(*_*)9781805220848_<p><strong>A brilliant historical investigation thats as gripping as a Le Carré novel Tom Burgis</strong></p><p><strong>Shaun Walker skilfully shows how Russias modern-day election meddling is rooted in the subterfuge and trickery of the bad old days.
