Tom Marcus (pseudonym) är en av den brittiska underrättelsetjänstens, MI5:s, bästa spanare någonsin. Han rekryterades till MI5 efter terrorattacken i London den 7 juli 2005. Dessförinnan hade han arbetat i fem år som underrättelseofficer för ett specialförband inom brittiska militären. I Under Cover lyfter han på den tunga täckmanteln och låter oss få en unik inblick i MI5:s antiterrorarbete. Om livet i den för oss vanliga människor osynliga krigsfronten mitt i samhället. Och du kan glömma skakade dry martinis, drottningens engelska och smoking. För Tom Marcus har det till exempel handlat om att klä sig i urinindränkta kläder och spela hemlös framför en moské med misstänkta fundamentalister eller att på olika sätt, med livet som insats, söka upp extremistiska grupper. Very well written, gives a startling amount of operational detail, the biggest shock of all - MI5 agreed to its publication. Sunday Times

Under Cover : livet som underrättelseagent åt MI5

Tom Marcus wurde vom MI5 rekrutiert, um sein Land zu schützen – undercover gegen interne und externe Bedrohungen, den Terror und zum Schutz der größten Geheimnisse des Landes. Tägliche Entscheidungen, die Leben oder Tod bedeuten. Ein nie enden wollender Kampf, den viele seiner Kollegen nicht überleben sollten. Bei einem seiner Einsätze nahm er die Identität eines verwahrlosten Obdachlosen an – und stellte bei einem Verdächtigen außergewöhnliche Verhaltensweisen fest. Zeichen, die vielleicht niemand außer einem ausgebildeten Agenten bemerkt hätte. Tom ließ das Haus stürmen. Gefunden wurden einige Gewehre und sechs selbstgebaute Bomben. Diese hätten, so zeigte sich später, 60 Schulkinder töten sollen, die sich auf der Rückfahrt von einer Klassenfahrt befanden. Dieser fesselnde Bericht über einen Krieg, der um unserer Sicherheit willen geführt wird, weiht uns in eines der am besten behüteten Geheimnisse Europas ein – den britischen Geheimdienst MI5.
