> As Rob Evans and Paul Lewis write in “Undercover: The True Story of Britain’s Secret Police,” Lambert “was well versed in political theory.” A former acquaintance told them, of Bob, “He was not a cardboard activist, he had real depth to him.” (Evans and Lewis exposed many of the events in this story in a series of articles in the Guardian, for which they won a 2014 British Press Award, and in “Undercover,” which is the definitive account of the excesses of undercover policing in Britain.) I don't tend to recommend books as books take a while to read and 2-3 days of someone's time is precious. However, this book is one of those exceptions, a must read that will change your ideas on how things really work in this world. Enlightening and extremely well researched, quite an adventure story too, covering many decades of goings on.
