Book Description

The years 1945-61 were a golden age of Western intelligence collection from spies, defectors, and refugees. This book examines the methods of spying and intelligence collection in East and West Germany and assesses the importance of border security to the East German Communist state, the impact of intelligence on the arms race, and the aggressive dimension of the US Government's policy of containment.

Review

"As files from both sides of the Iron Curtain have become increasingly available, it has become possible to shed new light on cold war intelligence operations. Paul Maddrell has done just that...Maddrell's book is an example of what can be accomplished by a dedicated author and is a significant contribution to the history of cold war intelligence."--Technology and Culture
