Two Memoirs from Tyndale – Nov 2/24

Deep Undercover: My Secret Life and Tangled Allegiances as a KGB Spy in America
Author(s): Jack Barsky
Publisher: Tyndale Momentum
Price: $3.99       (Ends Nov 30)

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.

The Polygamist’s Daughter: A Memoir
Author(s): Anna LeBaron
Publisher: Tyndale House
Price: $3.99       (Ends Nov 30)

My father had thirteen wives and more than fifty children . . .

This is the haunting memoir of Anna LeBaron, daughter of the notorious polygamist and murderer Ervil LeBaron. Ervil’s criminal activity kept Anna and her siblings constantly on the run from the FBI. Often starving, the children lived in a perpetual state of fear—and despite their numbers, Anna always felt alone in her family. Would she ever find a place she truly belonged? Would she ever be anything other than the polygamist’s daughter?

In this riveting and deeply personal account, Anna shares:
An honest, straightforward look into the horrors she experiences growing up in a Mormon fundamentalist cult
Her journey toward freedom and healing
How she found the courage to escape—and forgive—those who had hurt her
Filled with murder, abuse, fear, and betrayal, The Polygamist’s Daughter is the harrowing, heart-wrenching true story of a fatherless girl and her unwavering search for love, faith, and a place to call home.
