 Licensed
to Spy: With the Top Secret Military Liaison Mission in East Germany,
Dr. John A. Fahey, Naval Institute Press; ISBN: 1557502943, available in
local book stores beginning on April 22, 2002 or order now from Amazon.com. The
author's web page is at www.johnfahey.net.
Amazon.com Editorial Review:
John Fahey's firsthand account of his activities as a U.S. naval officer
in East Germany during the Cold War is a must read for everyone who enjoys
true-life spy stories. An astonishing tale of overt reconnaissance, high-speed
car chases, shootings, and detentions, the book chronicles Fahey's two
years in the midst of twenty-two divisions of Soviet troops behind the
Iron Curtain. As a member of a military liaison mission established in
a little-known 1947 agreement between U.S. and Soviet forces, the author
was legally permitted to perform surveillance in East Germany and took
advantage of the opportunity to conduct dangerous intelligence missions.
