With intrigue that rivals the best le Carré novels, Russians Among Us tells the explosive story of Russia's espionage efforts against the United States and the Westfrom the end of the Cold War to the present and the significant threat of hacking the 2020 election

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 mistаke. 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.

A good read indeed.

Much like A Gaggle of Idiots: Any Day in Anytown USA and Swimming Through Morons: a Minute on Any Political Forum Where Americans Make Up at Least 20%

Yeah, sure, "Russians". Definitely not Chinese or other groups of people with dual citizenship to another country they so obviously care about helping more than the US. What a joke, get this propaganda BS off SD.

And now it's up 2 upvotes, obviously this thread is hosted on a Dominion server.

This thread is about an ebook. Feel free to discuss the book and TU/TD as you feel appropriate; however, the comment section is not intended for general political discussion and The Podium was closed last year.

If the book is political then you can't talk about it without talking about politics. if people are upset about opinion then is there a way to add an option to hide comments initially?

We allow members to post political deals, but I guess a deal is in the eyes of the beholder. We do not allow unnecessary or far-reaching political comments, beyond what a normal discussion of this book should generate by itself. Sorry.

That's unfortunate because people who have a political stance against it will immediately just trash it without explaining why. Or promote it as good if they like the political stance regardless of quality of the book as well. This is also an "e book" in which there are already libraries renting those out. Libraries are the slickest of all book deals 🤣

So true. Personally, I can't tell you the last time I spent any money on any book, physical or otherwise.
