(u. S.) Shahili Puluoji

210K0

In August 1961, hours before the Berlin Wall was to be built, a KGB spy named Stashinsky defected to the West. This triggered a sensational espionage case during the Cold War. Historian Shahili Ploki used Staszynski's trial testimony, the latest declassified documents from the CIA, relevant German and Polish files, interviews and memoirs of KGB officials, and information collected from his own visits to use an academic eye to peel back the details of the espionage case, vividly recreating the secret world of espionage during the Cold War and revealing the complex game between the Eastern and Western camps.
