About the Book:
The gripping stories of a group of police spies - written by the award-winninginvestigative journalists who exposed the Mark Kennedy scandal - and theuncovering of forty years of state espionage. This was an undercover operation sosecret that some of our most senior police officers had no idea it existed. The job of theclandestine unit was to monitor British 'subversives' - environmental activists, anti-racistgroups, animal rights campaigners. Police stole the identities of dead people to createfake passports, driving licences and bank accounts. They then went deep undercover foryears, inventing whole new lives so that they could live incognito among the people theywere spying on. They used sex, intimate relationships and drugs to build their credibility.They betrayed friends, deceived lovers, even fathered children. And their operationscontinue today. Undercover reveals the truth about secret police operations - theemotional turmoil, the psychological challenges and the human cost of a lifetime ofdeception - and asks whether such tactics can ever be justified.
