Millionär in der DDR

Der Antiquitätenhändler Siegfried Kath war der wohl einzige Selfmade-Millionär der DDR und dabei ein Grenzgänger zwischen Ost und West. Wenige Monate nach Schließung der innerdeutschen Grenze wanderte er im Jahr 1961 in die DDR ein – scheinbar aus Versehen. Innerhalb von zehn Jahren baute er sich vom sächsischen Pirna aus ein extrem lukratives Kunsthandelsimperium auf und geriet damit ins Visier des Ministeriums für Außenhandel: Alexander Schalck-Golodkowskis Kommerzielle Koordinierung, die legendäre KoKo. Der Historiker Christopher Nehring hat die Archivquellen zu Siegfried Kath ausgewertet und im familiären Umfeld geforscht. Mit "Millionär in der DDR" legt er die erste Biograf...

"Top Secret" war gestern Wo liegt die Hauptstadt der Spione? Warum arbeiten Hellseher für die CIA? Und eignen sich Katzen als Agenten? Christopher Nehring geht 77 Mythen aus der Welt der Geheimdienste nach – absurden, unterhaltsamen, für unmöglich geglaubten – und überrascht immer wieder damit, dass die Wahrheit noch fantastischer als der Mythos sein kann. „Christopher Nehring ist ein wahrer Kenner der Geheimdienste. Er entlarvt lieb gewordene Mythen und schreibt ebenso präzise wie unterhaltsam.“ – Georg Mascolo, Leiter des Investigativ-Rechercheverbunds von WDR, NDR & SZ „Christopher Nehring ist der Erste, der Mythen, Fabeln und Fehlwahrnehmungen über Spionage und Geheimdi...

The Digitization of Disinformation Campaigns

The information revolution changed the way state-organized disinformation campaigns are conducted. The spreading of various forms of propaganda, confusing half-truths and pure falsehoods has accelerated, and social media has made it possible to reach an increasing number of people in a targeted fashion, in an ever-shorter news cycle. In the past disinformation actors mostly tried to persuade an audience of a single made-up story. Nowadays in the so-called post-truth era, disinformation actors rather attempt to dissuade an audience of the evidence-based story by disseminating an unending number of alternative narratives. At the core of this research lays the question how to deal with disinformation in digitized society.

Spektakuläre Morde und Mordversuche im Auftrag von Geheimdiensten beherrschen immer wieder die Schlagzeilen: der Anschlag auf Alexej Nawalny 2020, der „Tiergarten-Mord“ an Zelimkhan Khangoshvili 2019 in Berlin oder die Ermordung Jamal Khashoggis 2018 in Istanbul ... Sie muten wie Relikte aus Zeiten des Kalten Krieges an und erinnern an die fiktiven Welten von James Bond, Jason Bourne oder John Le Carré. Die neue Welle von Geheimdienstmorden in Europa wirft zahlreiche Fragen auf: Sind die uns bekannten Fälle nur die Spitze des Eisbergs? Wer gerät ins Visier von Geheimdiensten, wer sind die Täter? Wie werden die Morde organisiert und was sind ihre Konsequenzen? Der ebenso erschreckend...

From Peoples Into Nations

"This book is a history of East Central Europe since the late eighteenth century, the region of Europe between German central Europe and Russia in the East. Connelly argues the region, for which it is frequently hard to define exact boundaries and which is sometimes treated country-by-country in a way seemingly separate from the broader trends of European history, was one of shared experience despite most of the peoples being divided by linguistic, geographic, and political barriers. Beginning in the 1780s, an unwitting Habsburg monarch -- Joseph II -- decreed that his subjects would use only German, as he hoped to mold a common nationality using German over the disparate subjects. Instead, ...

The Wires of War

From the former news policy lead at Google, an “informative and often harrowing wake-up call” (Publishers Weekly) that explains the high-stakes global cyberwar brewing between Western democracies and the authoritarian regimes of China and Russia that could potentially crush democracy. From 2016 to 2020, Jacob Helberg led Google’s global internal product policy efforts to combat disinformation and foreign interference. During this time, he found himself in the midst of what can only be described as a quickly escalating two-front technology cold war between democracy and autocracy. On the front-end, we’re fighting to control the software—applications, news information, social media p...

Intelligence Practices in High-Trust Societies

This book examines the dynamics of intelligence practices in the Scandinavian culture of high social cohesion and high trust. Situated within the new body of scholarly literature, the book emphasizes critical empirical investigations of intelligence practices, highlighting the specific cultural settings of such practices. By providing Scandinavian perspectives on intelligence studies, the work distinguishes Scandinavian intelligence studies from the predominant Anglo-American perspectives. Throughout the Western world, the past two decades have generated a rapid expansion of the legal mandate, funding, and capabilities of intelligence agencies which, simultaneously, have been pushed to reneg...

"The author addresses one of the most pressing issues in modern American life: the pervasiveness of lies, the constitutional protection they enjoy, the harm that they cause, and how to combat them. The two most recent presidential elections, the battle against the coronavirus, and the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol demonstrate the power of lies, their pervasiveness online, and the damage that they can inflict"--
