And curiously, in the post-Cold War period there are no signs of this enthusiasm diminishing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The opening of secret police archives in many Eastern European countries has provided the opportunity to excavate and narrate for the first time forgotten spy stories. \u003ci\u003eCold War Spy Stories from Eastern Europe\u003c\/i\u003e brings together a wide range of accounts compiled from the East German Stasi, the Romanian Securitate, and the Ukrainian KGB files. The stories are a complex amalgam of fact and fiction, history and imagination, past and present. These stories of collusion and complicity, betrayal and treason, right and wrong, and good and evil cast surprising new light on the question of Cold War certainties and divides. \u003cb\u003ePurchase the audio edition.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eValentina Glajar \u003c\/b\u003eis a professor of German and an honorary professor of international studies at Texas State University, San Marcos.
