<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A great autobiography by one of the most intriguing Cold Warriors...[containing] extraordinary revelations about the inner world of espionage." --Miami Herald<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>For decades, Markus Wolf was known to Western intelligence officers only as the man without a face. Now the legendary spymaster 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 service ever. Wolf was undoubtedly the greatest spymaster of our century. A shadowy Cold War legend who kept his own past locked up as tightly as the state secrets with which he was entrusted, Wolf finally broke his silence in 1997. <i>Man Without a Face</i> is the result. It details all of Wolf's major 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 Germany's involvment with terrorism. He takes us inside the bowels of the Stasi headquarters and inside the minds of Eastern Bloc leaders. With its high-speed chases, hidden cameras, phony brothels, secret codes, false identities, and triple agents, <i>Man Without a Face</i> reads like a classic spy thriller--except this time the action is real.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Markus Wolf</b> was the head of East Germany's Foreign Intelligence Service.
