HAGEN : The secret war for Europe (fülszöveg)
This book is not fiction though the material uncovered by the author is enough for a dozen top-grade thrillers.
For two years Louis Hagen successfully spied on the spies of Europe, his own cover a job with a major film company. He emerged with a very large part of what really goes on, particularly in Germany, where the spies of East and West cross, kill each other, and — curiously, perhaps ironically — maintain a constant two-way flow of intelligence information which helps keep the cold war from becoming an actual war. Here is as much as you are likely to find out about General Reinhard Gehlen, boss of the West German spies, or of Otto John, ex-chief of West German counter-espionage who "defected" to the East. Also Bogdan Stashinsky, who defected to the West and confessed to two political murders with a cyanide pistol, murders no one knew had been committed! You will read about the betrayal of NATO defense secrets, how female agents work, kidnapings across the iron curtain, and how ruthless politicians exploit espionage hysteria in what is truly a secret war for Europe.
In the first advance review, Publisher's Weekly called The Secret War for Europe "a really juicy book of authentic stories of spies . . . as fascinating as it is revealing."
