'Fascinating and powerful.' Sunday Times What do you do with a
hundred thousand idle spies? By 1990 the Berlin Wall had fallen and
the East German state security service folded. For forty years,
they had amassed more than a billion pages in manila files
detailing the lives of their citizens. Almost a hundred thousand
Stasi employees, many of them experienced officers with access to
highly personal information, found themselves unemployed overnight.
This is the story of what they did next. Former FBI agent Ralph
Hope uses present-day sources and access to Stasi records to track
and expose ex-officers working everywhere from the Russian energy
sector to the police and even the government department tasked with
prosecuting Stasi crimes. He examines why the key players have
never been called to account and, in doing so, asks if we have
really learned from the past at all. He highlights a man who
continued to fight the Stasi for thirty years after the Wall fell,
and reveals a truth that many today don't want spoken. The Grey Men
comes as an urgent warning from the past at a time when governments
the world over are building an unprecedented network of
surveillance over their citizens. Ultimately, this is a book about
the present.
