The coverage of The Cold War in Germany: Overview, Origins, and
Intelligence Wars is indicated in the subtitle. The "overview,"
like the "origins," concentrates primarily on the historical
development of the Cold War. But the "overview" concentrates more
heavily on World War II in terms of background while the "origins"
goes back in time to the beginning of the modern era in Western
Society. The book also deals with the various "wildcards" of the
postwar era including Eurocommunism and the developments of
terrorist activity in the 1970s. Author Otis C. Mitchell, who
served as an Army intelligence operative in North Germany,
interweaves his counterintelligence experiences with newly
declassified documentary evidence (particularly those of the C.I.A.
operation in "battleground" Berlin called Base of Operations
Berlin, or BOB). Combining these two sources, Mitchell paints a
broad picture of the West and East German intelligence and
counterintelligence services. He shows that the Cold War had, by
the time of the building of the infamous Berlin Wall, already
established basic patterns that lasted until its end and beyond.
This system became anachronistic after the end of that long
struggle, and was not adequate to face the challenge of Islamic
fundamentalism as it developed in the 1990s and the early twenty
first century.
