description: Markus Wolf, East Germany's chief foreign intelligence officer and the foremost spymaster of the Eastern Bloc, was a man of such secrecy that it was 20 years before Western intelligence even knew what he looked like. His espionage network stretched to the highest levels of NATO and the West German government. His "sleeper" spies waited decades before being reactivated, and his "Romeo" spies seduced and used those on the other side. Wolf details all of his major operations, and provides portraits of Eastern Bloc leaders and the individuals who spied for him. He also tells his own story, from his childhood in Moscow to his twilight in a crumbling State.
