For decades, Markus Wolf was known to Western intelligence officers only as "the man without a face." Now the legendary spymaster has emerged from the shadows to reveal his remarkable life of secrets, lies, and betrayals as head of the world's most formidable and effective foreign service ever. Wolf was undoubtedly the greatest spymaster of our century. A shadowy Cold War legend who kept his own past locked up as tightly as the state secrets with which he was entrusted, Wolf finally broke his silence in 1997. Man Without a Face is the result. It details all of Wolf's major successes and failures and illuminates the reality of espionage operations as few nonfiction works before it. Wolf tells the real story of Gunter Guillaume, the East German spy who brought down Willy Brandt. He reveals the truth behind East Germany's involvment with terrorism. He takes us inside the bowels of the Stasi headquarters and inside the minds of Eastern Bloc leaders. With its high-speed chases, hidden cameras, phony brothels, secret codes, false identities, and triple agents, Man Without a Face reads like a classic spy thriller,except this time the action is real.

One cannot help but view Markus Wolf in a favorable light upon reading this book. The expression of the man which comes across to you on these pages is that of an educated and honorable man, whose predispositions are similar to our own. As with most intelligence professionals, or professional conspirators (such as his father), he has had his fair share of relationship issues due to the necessity of our profession to 'keep secrets' from all those around us.
It is something to keep in mind for us all, that in each culture there are honorable men whose reality makes the fictional characters of John le Carre's novels seem so one dimensional.
