Über diesen Titel
By 1990, the Berlin Wall had fallen and the East German state security service folded. During 40 years, they had amassed more than a billion pages in manila files detailing the lives of their citizens. Overnight, almost 100,000 Stasi employees, many of them experienced officers with access to highly personal information, found themselves unemployed. This is the story of what they did next.
Former FBI Agent Ralph Hope uses critical insider knowledge and access to Stasi records to track and expose ex-officers working everywhere from the Russian energy sector to the police and even the government department tasked with prosecuting Stasi crimes. He examines why the key players have never been called to account and, in doing so, asks whether we have really learned from the past at all. He highlights a man who continued to fight the Stasi for 30 years after the Wall fell, and reveals a truth that many don’t want spoken. The Grey Men comes as an urgent warning from the past at a time when governments the world over are building an unprecedented network of surveillance over their citizens.

Interesting Book
I wouldn't personal equate a lot to the comparisons the writer makes to modern left wing movements as directly to Communism, the GDR etc or Socialism in General and as a centerist I felt his bias shome through some what.. the story itself was very interesting and it was very eye opening as to what became of the former members of the Stasi.
I would agree with sentiment that no real justice has been done to the victims of the GDR in this respect. This has been a theme throughout 20th century Germany as we had saw with former Nazis in high positions in German society after WW2. The token prosecutions taking place today are far too little far too late and I feel the same may happen in regards the GDR. The lack of will to resolve the Stasi files is a major failure and is German pragmatism at it's worse.
