5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Piece of Cold War History August 22, 2011

By jzn

Format:Hardcover

A valuable reference work and an interesting piece of Cold War history. Compiled by East German journalist Julius Mader, only half of the names were believed to be actual CIA operatives, the rest were simply employees of the government working abroad. The book was intended as disinformation which would hinder the the US intelligence community as well as more legitimate diplomatic efforts. In response, the CIA assisted an American journalist John Barron's book KGB: The Secret Work of Secret Agents which named 1600 alleged agents.

1.0 out of 5 stars Communist Disinformation May 16, 2006

By CompTIA certified

Format:Hardcover

I just learned that this book was written by Czech and East German intelligence agencies to harrass not only the CIA, but the US Government in general. By exposing "agents of the CIA" the communists were able to hamper the placement of legitimate diplomats and officials and impact US policy worldwide. Worth a read to see if YOU are a CIA agent and just don't know it.
