German Secret Services

Wolfgang Krieger

Based on the latest research, Wolfgang Krieger tells the story of German secret services since the 19th century. He explains the different orientations of the services in the Third Reich and in the Federal Republic - and sheds light on their relationship to other state institutions. In addition, it places the organisations in the international framework and describes current challenges of intelligence work. This volume never loses sight of the different moral and legal perspectives on secret service activities.
