This book is an in-depth examination of the relations between
Ireland and the former East Germany between the end of the Second
World War and the fall of the Berlin Wall. It explores political,
diplomatic, economic, media and cultural issues. The long and
tortuous process of establishing diplomatic relations is unique in
the annals of diplomatic history. Central in this study are the
activities of the Stasi. They show how and where East German
intelligence obtained information on Ireland and Northern Ireland
and also what kind of information was gathered. A particularly
interesting aspect of the book is the monitoring of the activities
of the Irish Republican Army and the Irish National Liberation Army
and their campaigns against the British army in West Germany. The
Stasi had infiltrated West German security services and knew about
Irish suspects and their contacts with West German terrorist
groups. East German Intelligence and Ireland, 1949-90 makes an
original contribution to diplomatic, intelligence, terrorist and
Cold War studies. -- .
