Man Without A Face

Legendary spymaster Markus Wolf has emerged from the shadows to reveal his remarkable life of secrets, lies, and betrayals as head of the world's most formidable and effective foreign intelligence service ever. Wolf was undoubtedly the greatest spymaster of our century. He was a figure of mystery, a shadowy Cold War legend who kept his own past locked up as tightly as the state secrets with which he was entrusted. In 1997 he finally broke his silence and told his story. Man Without a Face is the result. It details all of Wolf's major operations, successes, and failures, and illuminates the reality of espionage operations as few nonfiction works before it. Wolf tells the real story of Gunter Guillaume, the East German spy who brought down Willy Brandt. He reveals the truth behind East German's involvement with terrorist groups. He takes us inside the bowels of the Stasi headquarters and inside the minds of Eastern Bloc leaders.
