More than a century ago, the new Bolshevik government began sending Soviet citizens abroad as deep-cover spies, training them to pose as foreign aristocrats, merchants, and students. Over time, this grew into the most ambitious espionage program in history. Many intelligence agencies use undercover operatives, but the KGB was the only one to go to such lengths, spending years training its spies in language and etiquette, and sending them abroad on missions that could last for decades. These spies were known as “illegals.”

The Illegals captures the untold history of Russia's deep cover spy programme, following its evolution from the talented "great Illegals" of the 1920s and '30s up to the 21st century, when agents maintained their fake identities and loyalties even after the fall of the Soviet Union. Through hundreds of interviews and access to never-before- seen archives, Shaun Walker exposes the colourful history of the KGB's most secretive espionage project.

‘”Did you know him?” a priest asked me when I first visited my father’s impressive marble tomb in Bosnia. I gave an honest answer – “No, I can’t say I really knew him at all”. It was a view shared by the former head of the Secret Intelligence Service’s anti-Soviet operations. “I don’t suppose we’ll ever really know the truth about J.B. Wood?” he told me. But he thought I had a better chance of finding out than most. After all, most of my family had at one time or another been with SIS, my mother one of only a handful of female agents to have operated behind the lines in post-war Berlin.
