In 1978 Timothy Garton Ash went to live in Berlin to see what that
divided city could teach him about tyranny and freedom. Fifteen
years later, by then internationally famous for his reportage of
the downfall of communism in Central Europe, he returned to look at
his Stasi file which bore the code-name 'Romeo'. Compiled by the
East German secret police, with the assistance of both professional
spies and ordinary people turned informer, it contained a
meticulous record of his earlier life in Berlin. In this memoir, he
describes rediscovering his younger self through the eyes of the
Stasi, and then confronting those who had informed against him.
Moving from document to remembrance, from the offices of Britain's
own security service to the living rooms of retired Stasi officers,
The File is a personal narrative as gripping, as disquieting, and
as morally provocative as any fiction by George Orwell or Graham
Greene. And it is all true.
