SynopsisThe urgent, explosive story of Russia’s espionage efforts
against the West from the Cold War to the present –
including their interference in the 2016 presidential
election.
Like a scene from a le Carre novel or 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.
In this meticulously researched and gripping, novelistic narrative, Gordon Corera uncovers the story
of how Cold War spying has evolved – and indeed, is still very much with us.
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.
