Almost 300,000 people worked for the STASI, the East German secret policeper capita, far more than are or were employed by agencies such as the CIA or the Soviet Unions KGB. More than 50 years after the Berlin Wall was erected, German photographer Simon Menner (born 1978) unearthed an extraordinary cache of photographs in the STASI archives that document the agencys surveillance work. These stateapproved photographs show officers and employees posing in professional uniforms, wearing unconvincing fake beards and moustaches, or signaling to each other with their hands. Once top secret, and now preposterous, these images are both comical and sinister. Until now, nobody has attempted a visual study of the activities of the State Security. For Simon Menner, the undertaking is more suited to artists and philosophers than to historians.

I got this book as a gift for my dad who's always been obsessed with espionage. He absolutely loves it! The quality of the images is top-notch, and the context provided is very informative. Makes for great discussion points too.

Disappointed with the presentation
I had high expectations for the Top Secret Images from the Stasi Archives, but the layout was kind of dull. The content is good, but it just felt like it lacked creativity in how it was presented. I wanted something a bit more engaging.

Good, but a bit pricey
These archives have some really interesting images, but I felt like it was a bit overpriced for what you get. Still, if you're into Cold War history, it’s worth checking out. Just be prepared to pay a premium for those insights.

Fascinating insights into history!
I picked up the Top Secret Images from the Stasi Archives because I’m a big history buff. The photos are incredible and really bring to life what was happening during that time in East Germany. Each page feels like a window into a world long gone.
