In Spies Beneath Berlin, David Stafford, the widely recognized expert on World War Two intelligence, tells the fascinating, in-depth account of one of the most audacious and intriguing covert operations of the Cold War: Operation Stopwatch/Gold. The operation was carried out from a secret tunnel half a mile long under the Russian sector of Cold War Berlin and, for more than a year, the CIA tuned in to German Red Army intelligence. Whether or not Operation Stopwatch/Gold was a success has been a point of contention over the years. For the first time, using eyewitness interviews and the full range of source material Stafford reveals the thrillingly complex story of this operation.
