East German Foreign Intelligence - Myth, Reality and Controversy (Hardcover): Kristie Macrakis, Thomas Wegener Friis, Helmut... East German Foreign Intelligence - Myth, Reality and Controversy (Hardcover)
Kristie Macrakis, Thomas Wegener Friis, Helmut Muller-Enbergs
R4,033 Discovery Miles 40 330 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This edited book examines the East German foreign intelligence service (Hauptverwaltung Aufkl?rung, or HVA) as a historical problem, covering politics, scientific-technical and military intelligence and counterintelligence.

The contributors broaden the conventional view of East German foreign intelligence as driven by the inter-German conflict to include its targeting of the United States, northern European and Scandinavian countries, highlighting areas that have previously received scant attention, like scientific-technical and military intelligence. The CIA's underestimation of the HVA was a major intelligence failure. As a result, East German intelligence served as a stealth weapon against the US, West German and NATO targets, acquiring the lion's share of critical Warsaw Pact intelligence gathered during the Cold War. This book explores how though all of the CIA's East German sources were double agents controlled by the Ministry of State Security, the CIA was still able to declare victory in the Cold War. Themes and topics that run through the volume include the espionage wars; the HVA's relationship with the Russian KGB; successes and failures of the BND (West German Federal Intelligence Service) in East Germany; the CIA and the HVA; the HVA in countries outside of West Germany; disinformation and the role and importance of intelligence gathering in East Germany.

This book will be of much interest to students of East Germany, Intelligence Studies, Cold War History and German politics in general.

Kristie Macrakis is Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta. Thomas Wegener Friis is an Assistant Professor at the University of Southern Denmark's Centre for Cold War Studies. Helmut M?ller-Enbergs is currently a Visiting Professor at the University of Southern Denmark and holds a tenured senior staff position at the German Federal Commission for the STASI Archives in Berlin.

Seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges und der Erweiterung der Europaischen Union gerat der Ostseeraum als historische Einheit immer starker in das Blickfeld von Wissenschaft und OEffentlichkeit. Eine intensive Beschaftigung mit dieser Region macht jedoch recht rasch deutlich, dass nicht nur die "eine Ostsee" existiert, sondern viele Ostseeraume, die in erster Linie durch Kooperationen und Konflikte, Handel und kulturelle Beziehungen sowie den daran beteiligten Protagonisten initialisiert und konstruiert werden. In dem vorliegenden Band analysieren 23 ExpertInnen aus funf Ostseelandern und Israel die durchaus unterschiedlichen Raumkonstruktionen und Verflechtungen innerhalb der Ostseeregion, die als ein spannungs- und konfliktreicher Handlungs- und Kulturraum verstanden wird.
