Description
Undercover: The True Story of Britain's Secret Police This is the shocking true story of a group of police spies who infiltrated environmental and anti-racist groups, using deception and manipulation to gather intelligence. Written by award-winning investigative journalists, the book reveals the emotional turmoil, psychological challenges, and human cost of a lifetime of deception. The police operation, so secret that some senior officers were unaware of its existence, involved stealing identities and creating fake passports, driving licences, and bank accounts. The agents went undercover, inventing new lives and building credibility through sex, intimate relationships, and drugs. The consequences of their actions are still felt today. This book asks whether such tactics can ever be justified, and provides a gripping insight into the world of state espionage.
