Spy Secrets: Espionage and the Culture of Technology in East Germany

在其存在的整个过程中，东德一直渴望在体育和科学方面出类拔萃。在其巅峰时期，它在体育和间谍领域声名狼藉，但在科学方面却表现欠佳。这本书将是一部追求科学和技术卓越的欺骗史--体现在间谍活动中，并研究东德被监视的技术文化。这项研究的目的是调查科学与间谍活动之间的关系，以揭示其范围、方法、来源和为科学取得的成功。这本书将试图回答间谍活动是否以及在多大程度上帮助了东德的科学抱负。这种方法将主要是历史性的，尽管它也将借鉴科学和技术研究的其他方法。核心将是“统计”档案馆、政党档案馆和德国档案馆(都在柏林，已经安排了访问权限)中的档案研究；加上中央情报局和克格勃档案。这份材料将补充印刷和二手材料，以创造一个分析性的叙述。对特工和官员的采访，以适当的怀疑态度看待，将增加细节、深度和佐证。

Throughout its existence East Germany has aspired to excel in sports and science. At its pinnacle it had achieved notoriety in sports and spying, but fell short in science. This book will be a history of deceit--embodied by espionage--in the quest for scientific and technological excellence, and a study of the culture of technology under surveillance in East Germany. The objective of the study is to investigate the relationship between science and espionage in order to uncover its extent, methods, sources and success for science. The book will attempt to answer whether and to what extent espionage aided East Germany's scientific aspirations. The approach will be mainly historical, though it will also draw on other approaches to Science and Technology Studies. At the core will be archival research in the `Stasi` archive, the Party archive, and the Bundesarchiv (all in Berlin, and access has been arranged); plus the CIA and KGB archives. This material will be supplemented with printed and secondary material to create an analytic narrative. Interviews with agents and officers, viewed with appropriate skepticism, will add detail, depth and corroboration.
