Cold War Spy Stories from Eastern Europe Audiobook (Free)

During the Cold Battle, stories of espionage became popular on both sides of the Iron Drape, capturing the imagination of readers and filmgoers alike as secret police quietly engaged in surveillance under the shroud of impenetrable secrecy. And curiously, in the post-Cold War period you can find no signs of the enthusiasm diminishing.

The opening of secret police archives in many Eastern Europe has provided the opportunity to excavate and narrate forgotten spy stories for the first time. Cold Battle Spy Tales from Eastern European countries brings together an array of accounts compiled through the East German Stasi, the Romanian Securitate, as well as the Ukrainian KGB files. The stories are a complex amalgam of reality and fiction, background and imagination, previous and present. These stories of collusion and complicity, betrayal and treason, correct and wrong, and good and evil cast surprising fresh light over the question of Cold Battle certainties and divides.
