For almost half a century, the hottest front in the Cold War was right across Berlin. From summer 1945 until 1990, the secret services of NATO and the Warsaw Pact fought an ongoing duel in the dark. Throughout the Cold War, espionage was part of everyday life in both East and West Berlin, with German spies playing a crucial part of operations on both sides: Erich Mielke's Stasi and Reinhard Gehlen's Federal Intelligence Service, for example. The construction of the wall in 1961 changed the political situation and the environment for espionage - the invisible front was now concreted and unmistakable. but the fundamentals had not changed: Berlin was and would remain the capital of spies until the fall of the Berlin Wall, a fact which makes it all the more surprising that there are hardly any books about the work of the secret services in Berlin during the Cold War. Journalist Sven Felix Kellerhoff and historian Bernd von Kostka describe the spectacular successes and failures of the various secret services based in the city.

Fast ein halbes Jahrhundert verlief die heißeste Front im Kalten Krieg quer durch Berlin. Von Sommer 1945 bis 1990 lieferten sich die Geheimdienste von Nato und Warschauer Pakt hier ein fortwährendes Duell im Dunklen. Doch auch deutsche Spione mischten auf beiden Seiten mit: Erich Mielkes Stasi und Reinhard Gehlens Bundesnachrichtendienst zum Beispiel. Der Bau der Mauer 1961 veränderte die politische Situation. Dennoch blieb Berlin bis zur Friedlichen Revolution die Hauptstadt der Spione. Der Journalist Sven Felix Kellerhoff und der Historiker Bernd von Kostka beschreiben die spektakulären Erfolge verschiedener Geheimdienste in der Stadt und ihr Scheitern bei anderen Vorhaben.- Spionagetunnel, Horchposten, Aufklärungsfahrten durch die DDR – so versuchten die westlichen Nachrichtendienste Informationen aus dem Osten zu erlangen- Entführungen, Gefängnisstrafen und Doppelagenten – die gefürchteten Methoden der Staatssicherheit- Neue Erkenntnisse gestützt auf erst kürzlich freigegebene Akten der Stasi und des BND, aus britischen und amerikanischen Archiven- Einmalige Einblicke in die Praxis des geheimen Krieges in Berlin
