God's Spies
The real-life cloak-and-dagger story of how East Germany’s notorious spy agency infiltrated churches here and abroad East Germany only existed for a short forty years, but in that time, the country’s secret police, the Stasi, developed a highly successful “church department” that—using persuasion rather than threats—managed to recruit an extraordinary stable of clergy spies. Pastors, professors, seminary students, and even bishops spied on colleagues, other Christians, and anyone else they could report about to their handlers in the Stasi. Thanks to its pastor spies, the Church Department (official name: Department XX/4) knew exactly what was happening and being planned in the country’s predominantly Lutheran churches. 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.
Historical Dictionary of German Intelligence
No country can rival the sheer diversity of intelligence organizations that Germany has experienced over the past 300 years. Given its pivotal geographical and political position in Europe, Germany was a magnet for foreign intelligence operatives, especially during the Cold War. As a result of this, it is no wonder that during certain periods of history Germany was probably busier spying on its own citizens than on its enemies. Because of the Gestapo and the SS of Nazi Germany to the Stasi of the German Democratic Republic, the fear of domestic abuse by security agencies with police powers runs far deeper in German society than elsewhere in the West. The Historical Dictionary of German Intelligence presents the turbulent history of German intelligence through a chronology, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on the agencies and agents, the operations and equipment, the tradecraft and jargon, and many of the countries involved. No military reference collection is complete without it.

Recht und Gerechtigkeit
Bei der strafrechtlichen Aufarbeitung von Diktaturen gibt es ein grundsätzliches Problem. Es ist nicht Aufgabe des Strafrechts Gerechtigkeit herzustellen, sondern individuelle Schuld festzustellen und zu sanktionieren. Der Band beleuchtet die strafrechtliche Verfolgung von NS-Verbrechen in beiden deutschen Staaten und die Aufarbeitung des DDR-Unrechts nach der Wiedervereinigung. Zudem nimmt er die juristische Verfolgung von Diktaturverbrechen in Ostmittel-, Süd- und Südosteuropa genauer in den Blick. So wird die Praxis strafrechtlicher Aufarbeitungsbemühungen in Polen, Bulgarien, Rumänien, Spanien und Griechenland analysiert und damit ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Diskussion über Möglichkeiten und Grenzen strafrechtlicher Diktaturaufarbeitung in Europa geleistet.
