Sorge's activities between 1930 and 1942 have tended to be lauded
as those of a superlative human intelligence operator and the
Soviet Union's GRU (Soviet military intelligence unit) as the
optimum of spy-masters. Although it was unusual for a great deal of
inside knowledge to be obtained from the Japanese side, most
attention has always been paid on the German side to the roles
played by representatives of the German Army in Japan. This book,
supported by extensive notes and a bibliography, by contrast,
highlights the friendly relations between Sorge and Paul Wenneker,
German naval attache in Japan from 1932 to 1937 and 1940-45.
Wenneker, from extensive and expanding contacts inside the Japanese
Navy (and also concealed contacts with the Japanese Army) supplied
Sorge with key information on the depth of rivalry between the
Japanese armed services.
