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

自建国以来，东德一直渴望在体育和科学领域取得卓越成就。在其鼎盛时期，它在体育和间谍活动中声名狼藉，但在科学领域却表现不佳。这本书将是一部在追求卓越科技的过程中以间谍活动为代表的欺骗史，也是对东德监控下的技术文化的研究。该研究的目的是调查科学与间谍活动之间的关系，以揭示其程度，方法，来源和科学的成功。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。该方法将主要是历史的，尽管它也将借鉴其他方法的科学和技术研究。研究的核心将是“史塔西”档案馆、党档案馆和联邦档案馆的档案研究（都在柏林，访问已经安排好）；还有中情局和克格勃的档案这些材料将与印刷材料和次要材料相补充，以创建一个分析性的叙述。以适当的怀疑态度对特工和警官进行采访，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.
