Markus Wolf: The Stasi's Master of Disguise
The man behind the Iron Curtain—with no known photo for decades—was one of the most effective spies in history.
Markus Wolf was the chief of East Germany’s foreign intelligence service, the HVA, for more than three decades. Under his command, the Stasi became a feared and formidable force in Cold War espionage. From seductive “Romeo agents” to deep-cover operatives embedded in the heart of NATO, Wolf’s methods were inventive, meticulous, and disturbingly effective.
Markus The Stasi's Master of Disguise tells the true story of the enigmatic spy chief whose invisible hand shaped the Cold War from the shadows. Historian David G. Stone paints a vivid portrait of ideology, betrayal, psychological warfare, and a man who became a legend without ever showing his face.
Perfect for readers of Cold War history, intelligence operations, and political intrigue.
