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.
In this deeply personal and gripping true story, Barsky exposes:
- The recruitment process and espionage training used by the KGB
- His time working in America as a secret agent
- How he unraveled the political ideologies instilled by the Communist Party
- The spiritual awakening that changed everything
Deep Undercover will reveal the secret life of this man without a country and tell the story no one ever expected him to tell.

Jack Barsky was born, raised, and educated East Germany. He was recruited by the KGB and spent ten years as an undercover agent in the United States.
Jack severed his relations with the KGB in 1988 and was captured by the FBI in 1997. In the spring of 2015, CBS 60 Minutes ran a story on Jack's unusual life. Jack has retired from his corporate career in information technology to concentrate on his book and public appearances.
He lives with his wife, Shawna, and their daughter, Trinity, in Covington, Georgia.
