Product Information

A compelling examination of the establishment of the secret police in Communist Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Eastern Germany This book examines the history of early secret police forces in Poland, Czechoslovakia, and East Germany in the aftermath of the Second World War. Molly Pucci delves into the ways their origins diverged from the original Soviet model based on differing interpretations of communism and local histories. She also illuminates the difference between veteran agents who fought in foreign wars and younger, more radical agents who combatted "enemies of communism" in the Stalinist terror in Eastern Europe.

Reviews

Winner of the Kulczycki Book Prize for Polish Studies, sponsored by ASEEES Shortlisted for the Witold Pilecki International Book Award, Academic History Book category, sponsored by the Pilecki Institute " Security Empire presents an original and compelling picture of the Communist secret police. The book has neither heroes nor villains but instead reveals the very real people, with their attendant strengths, faults, and foibles, behind the mysterious and supposedly omniscient secret police." -- Melissa Feinberg, Rutgers University "Molly Pucci has managed the remarkable feat of choosing one of the most prominent topics in the field, and then producing a synoptic, cross-national account of the scope and scale that scholars and students have needed for decades, but that no one has dared (or been willing to put in the time) to produce."-- Piotr H. Kosicki, University of Maryland at College Park "In this wonderfully original and deeply researched book Molly Pucci offers a subtle comparison of state-building in Poland, Czechoslovakia, and eastern Germany in the post-war years, concentrating on the vital role of the secret police."--Steve Smith, Oxford University "Based on a dizzying array of sources and languages and infused with the very words of former secret police agents, Molly Pucci's erudite account of three East European security services in the aftermath of World War II will long be the scholarly benchmark."--Gary Bruce, author of The Firm: The Inside Story of the Stasi "This extraordinary book, extensively researched in three languages, shows how different secret police organizations arose in communist Poland, Czechoslovakia, and East Germany. A tour de force!"--Katherine Verdery, My Life as a Spy: Investigations in a Secret Police File, " Security Empire presents a original and compelling picture of the Communist secret police.
