Since the end of the Cold War, the operations of secret police
informers have come under the media spotlight and it is now common
knowledge that vast internal networks of spies in the Soviet Union
and East Germany were directed by the Communist Party. By contrast,
very little historical information has been available on the covert
operations of the security services in Mao Zedong's China. However,
as Michael Schoenhals reveals in this intriguing and sometimes
sinister account, public security was a top priority for the
founders of the People's Republic and agents were recruited from
all levels of society to ferret out 'counter-revolutionaries'. On
the basis of hitherto classified archival records, the book tells
the story of a vast surveillance and control apparatus through a
detailed examination of the cultivation and recruitment of agents,
their training and their operational activities across a
twenty-year period from 1949 to 1967.
