First edition. 8vo. pp.xxii + 402 + black & white plates including notes, bibliography and index. Black cloth marked hardcover in original price clipped rear marked and chipped pictorial dust wrapper. "Gehlen: Spy of the Century" by E.H. Cookridge is a biographical account of Reinhard Gehlen, one of the most influential and controversial figures in the world of espionage during and after World War II. The book chronicles Gehlen's career, starting with his role as a high-ranking intelligence officer in Nazi Germany, where he headed the Wehrmacht's Foreign Armies East (Fremde Heere Ost) unit, which was responsible for gathering intelligence on the Soviet Union. Cookridge delves into Gehlen's post-war activities, highlighting how he successfully leveraged his expertise and the intelligence network he had established to secure a key position in the Cold War. After surrendering to the Americans, Gehlen was recruited by U.S. Army intelligence and later played a pivotal role in the formation of the West German intelligence service, the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), serving as its first president. The biography explores Gehlen's strategic acumen, his controversial methods, and the ethical dilemmas associated with his career. It sheds light on his complex legacy, including the impact of his work on Cold War dynamics and the contentious moral implications of his transition from a Nazi officer to a prominent Western intelligence figure. "Gehlen: Spy of the Century" provides an in-depth look at the life of a man who significantly shaped post-war espionage and intelligence operations, making it a compelling read for those interested in the intricacies of Cold War history and intelligence.
