Am 8. September 2022 sticht von Rügen aus eine in die Jahre gekommene Segeljacht in die Ostsee. An Bord: fünf Männer, eine Frau und schweres Tauchgerät. Zweieinhalb Wochen später detonieren Sprengladungen an drei von vier Strängen der Nord-Stream-Pipelines. Die Druckwellen registrieren Seismografen in ganz Skandinavien. Die Bilder der Methangasblasen an der Meeresoberfläche gehen um die Welt.Oliver Schröm und Ulrich Thiele rekonstruieren den Anschlag aus über hundert vertraulichen Gesprächen mit Ermittlern, Geheimdienstmitarbeitern, Ministern und früheren Regierungschefs, diesseits und jenseits des Atlantiks. Gestützt auf Ermittlungsakten, interne Dokumente, Chatverläufe und persönliche Aufzeichnungen entsteht ein umfassendes Bild der größten Sabotageaktion seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Investigativer Journalismus, der sich liest wie ein Spionage-Thriller.Das Buch führt an Bord der Jacht Andromeda und in die CIA-Zentrale in Langley, in diplomatische Hinterzimmer und einen abhörsicheren Raum des Bundestags, in TV-Studios und an geheime Orte in der Ukraine. Immer wieder mittendrin: der damalige Kanzler Olaf Scholz und sein Strippenzieher Wolfgang Schmidt, die ihre eigene Agenda verfolgen und ihre Beziehungen zu einflussreichen Journalisten spielen lassen.Im Kern steht eine Frage, die bis heute nicht beantwortet ist: Was waren die wahren Motive für Scholz' hinhaltendes Agieren in der Ukraine-Politik, das die Beziehungen zum angegriffenen Land und zu wichtigen Verbündeten bis heute belastet?Eine packend erzählte Geschichte, die noch nicht zu Ende ist. Was Sie in diesem Buch erfahren:- Wie ein kleines ukrainisches Kommando die Operation plante und von einer Segeljacht aus in 80 Metern Tiefe durchführte- Was westliche Geheimdienste im Vorfeld wussten und warum niemand eingriff- Welche Rolle das Kanzleramt spielte: die internen Abwägungen, das Durchsickern von geheimen Informationen und die Folgen für die deutsch-ukrainischen Beziehungen   

In this unprecedented history of intelligence cooperation during the Cold War, Aviva Guttmann uncovers the key role of European intelligence agencies in facilitating Mossad's Operation Wrath of God. She reveals how, in the aftermath of the 1972 Munich Olympics Massacre, Palestinians suspected of involvement in terrorism were hunted and killed by Mossad with active European cooperation. Through unique access to unredacted documents in the Club de Berne archive, she shows how a secret coalition of intelligence agencies supplied Mossad with information about Palestinians on a colossal scale and tacitly supported Israeli covert actions on European soil. These agencies helped to anticipate and thwart a number of Palestinian terrorist plots, including some revealed here for the first time. This extraordinary book reconstructs the hidden world of international intelligence, showing how this parallel order enabled state relations to be pursued independently of official foreign policy constraints or public scrutiny.

Runner-Up – Overseas Press Club's Cornelius Ryan Award for the Best Non-Fiction Book of 2025From the Wall Street Journal's award-winning international investigations team comes a spellbinding account of a spy war between the U.S. and Russia that transformed into a ruthless game of hostage-taking, in which Putin held all the cards.Narrated with the propulsive drive of a spy thriller and packed with revelatory reporting, Swap takes you deep inside a shadow war that will upend how you think about global politics. It is the first full account of the Kremlin’s game of human poker—and the extraordinary lengths the U.S. had to go to to retrieve its citizens, including Brittney Griner, Evan Gershkovich, Paul Whelan, Alsu Kurmasheva, and numerous others whose arrests were unseen collateral damage in a hidden conflict.Swap unspools the history behind the series of prisoner trades that returned Moscow and Washington to the crude transactional logic of the Cold War, culminating in the two rivals’ largest and most complex swap ever. On August 1, 2024, twenty-four people jailed in seven nations were exchanged, including eight Russian spies, smugglers, hackers, and a professional hit man. But that headline moment was only the climax of a secret war two decades in the making.Investigative reporters Drew Hinshaw and Joe Parkinson were Pulitzer finalists for their work with Gershkovich to uncover the Russian officials responsible for resurrecting a brutal tactic once wielded by the KGB. Now they reveal the story of how the Russian government planted deep-cover agents in the West, how the CIA tracked them down, and how Russia responded by snatching American citizens—imprisoning them under false or jacked-up charges—forcing the U.S. government to play Putin’s game.Swap takes you inside the Oval Office, the Kremlin, the headquarters of the CIA and MI6, and the living rooms of ordinary families forced to become activists in order to bring their loved ones home. You’ll meet the Gulf royals, billionaire tech moguls, and unlikely Hollywood intermediaries navigating back channels to save lives. You’ll visit remote Arctic prison camps and cordoned-off Middle Eastern airstrips. And you’ll discover how the CIA and MI6 waged a quiet, high-stakes campaign against a Kremlin that was abducting Americans to build leverage.Tracking each move and countermove in a multilayered Rubik’s Cube of negotiations, Swap unscrambles and decodes the spy craft really going on between the U.S. and Russia, offering a chilling diagnosis for how power works in the twenty-first century.

THE SUNDAY TIMES #1 BESTSELLERA Times Best History Book of the Year; A Waterstones Best Book of the Year'Reads like a thriller... I couldn't put Max Hastings's new book down' DAILY MAIL'Hastings is a master of drama, a writer intimately familiar with the mind of the soldier' THE TIMESOperation Biting was one of the most thrilling British commando raids of World War II, and probably the most successful. In February 1942 RAF intelligence was baffled by a newly-identified radar network on the coast of Nazi-occupied Europe, codenamed Würzburg. The brilliant scientist Dr RV Jones proposed an assault to capture key components. The nearest accessible enemy set stood upon a steep cliff at Bruneval in Normandy. Winston Churchill enthused, as did Lord Louis Mountbatten, chief of Combined Operations. A company of the newly-formed Airborne Forces was committed to the operation, which took place on the night of 27/28 February. Amid heavy snow 120 men landed, some of whom were misdropped almost two miles from their objective. They nonetheless launched the assault, dismantled the German radar, and after three nail-biting hours in France and a fierce battle with Wehrmacht defenders, escaped in the nick of time by landing-craft across stormy seas to Portsmouth.Max Hastings recounts this cliffhanging tale in a wealth of previously unchronicled detail. He portrays its remarkable personalities: the 'boffin' RV Jones; the peacock Mountbatten; the troubled husband of Daphne Du Maurier, Gen. 'Boy' Browning, who commanded the Airborne Division; 'Colonel Remy', the French secret agent whose men reconnoitered Bruneval at mortal risk; Major John Frost, who led the paras into action; Charlie Cox, the little RAF technician who stripped the Würzburg and became an unexpected hero; Wing-Commander Charles Pickard, a legendary bomber pilot who led the drop squadron. Seldom have so many fascinating personalities been brought together to fulfil a mission that became a front-page triumph in a season of British defeats.Recounted in Hastings' familiar best-selling blend of top-down and bottom-up action detail, Operation Bitingtells a story that has become almost forgotten yet deserves to rank among the epic tales of courage and daring that took place in the greatest conflict in history.

New York Times Bestseller * A New Yorker Best Book of the Year * A Washington Post Notable Book of the Year * A New York Times Editors' Choice "No one has opened up the CIA to us like Weiner has, and The Mission deserves to win Weiner a second Pulitzer." —The GuardianA masterpiece of reporting based on-the-record interviews with six former CIA directors and scores of spies, station chiefs, and top operations officers: The Mission is a gripping and revelatory history of the modern CIA, reaching from 9/11 through its covert operations in Afghanistan and Iraq to today’s secret battles with Russia and China, concluding with the Agency's own fight for survival under the current president of the United States Tim Weiner's epic successor to Legacy of Ashes, his National Book Award–winning classic about the CIA's first sixty yearsAt the turn of the century, the Central Intelligence Agency was in crisis. The end of the Cold War had robbed the agency of its mission. More than thirty overseas stations and bases had been shuttered, and scores that remained had been severely cut back. Many countries where surveillance was once deemed crucial went uncovered. Essential intelligence wasn’t being collected. At the dawn of the information age, the CIA’s officers and analysts worked with outmoded technology, struggling to distinguish the clear signals of significant facts from the cacophony of background noise.Then came September 11, 2001. After the attacks, the CIA transformed itself into a lethal paramilitary force, running secret prisons and brutal interrogations, mounting deadly drone attacks, and all but abandoning its core missions of espionage and counterespionage. The consequences were grave: the deaths of scores of its recruited foreign agents, the theft of its personnel files by Chinese spies, the penetration of its computer networks by Russian intelligence and American hackers, and the tragedies of Afghanistan and Iraq. A new generation of spies now must fight the hardest targets—Moscow, Beijing, Tehran—while confronting a president who has attacked the CIA as a subversive force.From Pulitzer Prize winner Tim Weiner, The Mission tells the gripping, high-stakes story of the CIA through the first quarter of the twenty-first century, revealing how the agency fought to rebuild the espionage powers it lost during the war on terror—and finally succeeded in penetrating the Kremlin. The struggle has life-and-death consequences for America and its allies. The CIA must reclaim its original mission: know thy enemies. The fate of the free world hangs in the balance.A masterpiece of reporting, The Mission includes exclusive on-the-record interviews with six former CIA directors, the top spymaster, thirteen station chiefs, and scores of top operations officers who served undercover for decades and have never spoken to a journalist.

“Truth is always stranger than fiction. . . A stunning, riveting and extraordinary real-life story of life in the shadows." –#1 International Bestselling Author Don WinslowThe gripping true story, that reads like fiction, of how legendary FBI Special Agent Martin Suarez went deep undercover—and lived a double-life for years—to infiltrate Colombia's most insidious drug cartels.Martin Suarez, a legend within the FBI who specialized in Colombian drug cartels, holds the record for the longest time spent continuously undercover. As his alter ego Manny, Martin followed the unspoken rules of the cartels: He knew the right lingo to use, the right whiskey to drink, the right watch to wear, the wrong questions to ask. He smuggled over $1 billion worth of cocaine into the United States for the Medellín Cartel and, as his cover deepened, he graduated to become a high-level money launderer for the North Coast Cartel. He helped wash tens of millions of dollars worth of drug money, ensnaring himself in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse while simultaneously exposing the Black Market Peso Exchange, the most insidious money laundering apparatus in the world that involved billionaire bankers, blue-chip American corporations, and even the President of Colombia himself.Martin was raised by a father who served in the military and valorized the nobility of the FBI, and Martin stopped at nothing to allow his father to live vicariously through his son. He wanted nothing more than to make his father proud—and to be a good husband to his wife, and a loving father to his two young sons. He became a man caught between two worlds—that of an undercover agent who wanted to rid the world of its evils, but also that of a family man who was trying not to lose himself in this dark, brutal underworld that captivated the globe during the War on Drugs.And yet his worlds begin to collide as danger creeps dangerously close to his doorstep when his cover is blown and a cartel-hired sicario comes hunting for him.Inside the Cartel is told with the pulse-racing action of a Hollywood blockbuster. This is the story of Suarez and his time undercover and how maintaining the trust of hardened criminals can start to tear away at even the most principled soldier.

Aus diesem Leben konnte nur ein Roman werden, aber ein Roman wie kein zweiter: voller unbändiger Energie und leuchtender Lebensgier'Ich bin hellauf begeistert. Poetisch und ganz direkt, wirklich großartig!' Ulrich Matthes Ein Mensch, vielleicht am falschen Ort geboren, macht sich auf, frei und unabhängig zu sein: Tassilo, jung und verliebt in Musik und Männer, will raus aus der Rostocker Platte und rein in die Freiheit West-Berlins. Schwankend zwischen Verzweiflung und Euphorie plant er seinen Ausbruch. Denn auch Zuhause scheint er nicht mehr sicher zu sein: 'Mutter sagt, sie wird alles dafür tun, dass mein Vorhaben nie aufgeht. Ihre Kriegserklärung ist klipp und klar - nicht nur als Mutter, auch als Genossin.' Es gleicht einem Wunder, doch 1986, mit gerade einmal neunzehn Jahren, kommt dieser Suchende und Strauchelnde mit den blauen Augen am Bahnhof Zoo an. Drei Jahre später fällt die Mauer und er macht eine Entdeckung, die sein ganzes Leben verändert ...Aus Briefen, Tagebucheinträgen, Kindheitserinnerungen und Stasi-Akten formt Victor Schefé einen Roman, der vor Energie leuchtet.'Victor Schefé erzählt atemlos, hinreißend, selbstironisch. Man liest immer weiter und freut und wundert sich über den Scharfblick auf das Absurde im Leben.' Helga Schubert'Muss man lesen. Ja, eine Ost-West-Geschichte. Und nein, ganz anders. Es geht um Wieseriesen und Geizkrägen, Fame, Stasi und gute Musik, um zarte Liebe und harte Ohrenschmerzen. Ich bin begeistert!' Annette Frier¿¿'Hochenergetisch und packend: Dieser Roman ist eine echte literarische Bereicherung, ein Vergnügen!' Kristof Magnusson

Between 1975 and 1980, Peter Sutcliffe-infamously known as the Yorkshire Ripper-terrorized the streets of West Yorkshire, murdering thirteen women and attacking at least seven others. His crimes left a lasting scar not only on his victims and their families but also on a society that failed to protect its most vulnerable.Peter Sutcliffe: True Crime Serial Killers by Johann Bachmann is a chilling yet deeply researched account of one of Britain's most notorious serial killers. Drawing on police reports, survivor testimony, media coverage, and expert analysis, the book reveals how systemic misogyny, investigative failures, and media sensationalism allowed Sutcliffe to evade justice for years.More than a catalog of crimes, this book explores the human cost of indifference and institutional breakdown. It highlights the courage of survivors like Emily Ward, the relentless pursuit of truth by journalist Joan Harris, and the dogged determination of Detective George Oldfield-figures who stood against the darkness.At its heart, this is not just a story of a killer, but a story of a city under siege and a community that refused to be silenced. It forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about violence against women and the structures that perpetuate it, while honoring those whose lives and legacies deserve remembrance beyond the headlines.Grim yet essential, Peter Sutcliffe: True Crime Serial Killers is both a work of historical record and a rallying cry: to learn from the past, to recognize society's blind spots, and to ensure that predators can never again thrive in the shadows.

A novel and comprehensive narrative of American intelligence from the Revolutionary War to the present day.Intelligence is all around us. We read about it in the news, wonder who is spying on us through our phones or computers, and want to know what is happening in the shadows. The US Intelligence Community or IC, as insiders call it, is more powerful than ever, but also more vulnerable than it has been in decades. It is facing the threat of rival intelligence services from countries like Russia and China while fighting to keep up with new technology and the private sector. Still, the IC's greatest struggle is always with the American people, who expect it to keep the country safe but not at the cost of their liberty. Arriving on the fiftieth anniversary of the "Year of Intelligence," The Spy and the State tells the complete history of American intelligence from the Revolutionary War to the present day. Based on original research and a new interpretation of US history, this masterful book by Jeffrey Rogg explores the origins and evolution of intelligence in America, including its overlooked role in some of the key events that shaped the nation. Along the way, Rogg identifies the historical underpinnings of intelligence controversies that have shaken the country to its constitutional foundations and have resurfaced in recent years. Moving beyond institutional histories of the FBI and CIA, he introduces the concept of US civil-intelligence relations to explain the interaction between intelligence and the society it serves.While answering questions from the past, The Spy and the State poses new questions for the future that the United States must confront as intelligence gains ever greater importance in the twenty-first century.

Cécile Fabre draws back the curtain on the ethics of espionage and counterintelligence.Espionage and counter-intelligence activities, both real and imagined, weave a complex and alluring story. Yet there is hardly any serious philosophical work on the subject. Cécile Fabre presents a systematic account of the ethics of espionage and counterintelligence. She argues that such operations, in the context of war and foreign policy, are morally justified as a means, but only as a means, to protect oneself and third parties from ongoing violations of fundamental rights. In doing so, she addresses a range of ethical questions: are intelligence officers morally permitted to bribe, deceive, blackmail, and manipulate as a way to uncover state secrets? Is cyberespionage morally permissible? Are governments morally permitted to resort to the mass surveillance of their and foreign populations as a means to unearth possible threats against national security? Can treason ever be morally permissible? Can it ever be legitimate to resort to economic espionage in the name of national security? The book offers answers to those questions through a blend of philosophical arguments and historical examples.

The New York Times bestselling author of Dark Invasion and The Last Goodnight once again illuminates the lives of little-known individuals who played a significant role in America’s history as he chronicles the incredible true story of a critical, recently declassified counterintelligence mission and two remarkable agents whose story has been called "the greatest secret of the Cold War."In 1946, genius linguist and codebreaker Meredith Gardner discovered that the KGB was running an extensive network of strategically placed spies inside the United States, whose goal was to infiltrate American intelligence and steal the nation’s military and atomic secrets. Over the course of the next decade, he and young FBI supervisor Bob Lamphere worked together on Venona, a top-secret mission to uncover the Soviet agents and protect the Holy Grail of Cold War espionage—the atomic bomb.Opposites in nearly every way, Lamphere and Gardner relentlessly followed a trail of clues that helped them identify and take down these Soviet agents one by one, including Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. But at the center of this spy ring, seemingly beyond the American agents’ grasp, was the mysterious master spy who pulled the strings of the KGB’s extensive campaign, dubbed Operation Enormoz by Russian Intelligence headquarters. Lamphere and Gardner began to suspect that a mole buried deep in the American intelligence community was feeding Moscow Center information on Venona. They raced to unmask the traitor and prevent the Soviets from fulfilling Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev’s threat: "We shall bury you!"A breathtaking chapter of American history and a page-turning mystery that plays out against the tense, life-and-death gamesmanship of the Cold War, this twisting thriller begins at the end of World War II and leads all the way to the execution of the Rosenbergs—a result that haunted both Gardner and Lamphere to the end of their lives.
