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 total coverage 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 Party s attempt to control all aspects
of East German civil society, and sets out what is known of the
regime 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."
