God's Spies: The Stasi's Cold War Espionage Campaign Inside the Church

By Elisabeth Braw

Book Overview

East Germany's secret police, the Stasi, developed a highly successful "church department" that recruited an extraordinary stable of clergy spies. Yet ultimately it failed in its mission: despite knowing virtually everything about East German Christians, the Stasi couldn't prevent the church-led protests that erupted in 1989 and brought down the Berlin Wall.
