This book is a fascinating new examination of one of the most
feared and efficient secret services the world has ever known, the
Stasi.
The East German Stasi was a jewel among the communist secret
services, the most trusted by its Russian mother organization the
KGB, and even more efficient. In its attempt at a ~total coveragea
(TM) of civil society, the Ministry for State Security came close
to realizing the totalitarian ideal of a political police force.
Based on research in archival files unlocked just after the fall of
the Berlin Wall and available to few German and Western readers,
this volume details the Communist Partya (TM)s attempt to control
all aspects of East German civil society, and sets out what is
known of the regimea (TM)s support for international terrorism in
the 1970s and 1980s.
STASI will be of much interest to students of intelligence
studies, German politics and international relations.
