'Operation George is brilliant! It's a unique insight into the undercover world, the ingenious tactics, the outwardly serene UCOs and the fastidious adherence to rules and training are nothing like I've ever read before. Devoting the majority of the second half of the book to the trial was inspired. It's all very well for readers to have that amazing peek into the undercover world (and the way the team created a totally illusionary one for Fulton at huge potential risk to themselves given his background and connections) but to show how the evidence obtained stands or falls in court does the whole tactic justice.' - Graham Bartlett, former UK senior police officer and co-author with international best seller, Peter James, of a Sunday Times Top Ten bestselling non-fiction book, Death Comes Knocking - Policing Roy Grace's Brighton.

Just like Jim Carrey's character in The Truman Show, Fulton's environment had been controlled and his life manipulated, co-authors Dickens (a pseudonym) and Bentley, both former undercover officers, write in this rare and at times compelling window into the murky world of undercover policing. - Kirkus Reviews This true crime and narrative nonfiction story of undercover policing proves fascinating... The most interesting and original aspects of this book are its look into the inner workings of undercover policing during the aftermath of the Troubles... Readers will find many aspects of this work to be compelling. - The BookLife Prize
