Title: Selective, bland, dull
Review: As an Australian who married an East German who loved her country, I found the book limited in its range, dull in its writing and very selective in its fields and viewpoint.Compared to the paranoia, security, proganda and war-like nature of the current U.S. Of A., there's not much in the book to shock or surprise. Think about the ECHELON network watching our own western lives by our own western states when your read about the STASI methods.Don't expect it to be definitive or unbiased, but it's worth reading. Also keep in mind that we in the west did our best at all times to destroy those countries in every way for 50 years.
