Description



Book Synopsis



The American military occupation of Germany lasted five years. During this time, Germany made great strides along the road from fascism to democracy, Europe became the fulcrum of the Cold War, and the United States emerged as a global superpower. This book corrects numerous misunderstandings and fills many gaps in our knowledge about the occupation.



Review Quotes




"Brilliant! This book is excellent scholarship and eloquently covers the range of colorful and capable intelligence professionals who made their own history in both World War II and its follow-on years." Lt. Gen. David H. Huntoon Jr., U.S. Army (ret.)

"Elegantly captures Berlin's postwar climate of intrigue." Peter M. F. Sichel, OSS/CIA Berlin, 1945-1952

"Excellent... this valuable book is a great addition to the scholarship on American intelligence." Peter Clemens, Journal of Military History

"An impressively documented thorough account." Studies in Intelligence

"Boghardt skillfully weaves together anecdotes worthy of dozens of spy thrillers... compelling reading, and highly recommended." Professor Walter M. Hudson, H-Net

"...will long be the hallmark work on Army intelligence in Germany both during the war and in its immediate aftermath." G. Alan Knight, Journal of America's Military Past

"Damit hat der Autor eine außerordentlich wichtige Studie vorgelegt, die zugleich eine wesentliche Grundlage für das Verständnis amerikanischer und deutscher Nachrichtendienste im folgenden kalten Krieg darstellt. Damit ist der Arbeit ein großer Leserkreis zu wünschen." in: Hardthöhen Kurier 4/2024

"Dieses Buch liefert eine sehr gut lesbare historische Darstellung, in der die geheimdienstliche Tätigkeit anschaulich in ihrem historischen Kontext verankert wird. Für Fachleute ist die penible Auswertung bislang weitgehend unbekannter amerikanischer Militärakten sowie der gedruckten Quellen samt Fachliteratur von größter Bedeutung. Besonders nützlich sind die Abschnitte zur Organisation und zum Personal von Army Intelligence, wie man sie nirgendwo sonst findet. [...] Zugleich nimmt er sich die Freiheit, historische Personen und Aktionen kritisch unter die Lupe zu nehmen. Das Ergebnis ist wissenschaftlich bewundernswert, sorgfältig mit Illustrationen versehen und meilenweit von einer drögen amtlichen Geschichtsschreibung entfernt." Wolfgang Krieger in: MGZ 2/2024
