      In August 1972, Ryszard Kuklinski, a highly respected colonel in the Polish Army, embarked on what would become one of the most extraordinary human intelligence operations of the Cold War. Despite the extreme risk to himself and his family, he contacted the American Embassy in Bonn, and arranged a secret meeting. From the very start, he made clear that he deplored the Soviet domination of Poland, and believed his country was on the wrong side of the Cold War.Over the next nine years, Kuklinski -- code name "Jack Strong" -- rose quickly in the Polish defense ministry, acting as a liaison to Moscow, and helping to prepare for a "hot war" with the West. But he also lived a life of subterfuge -- of dead drops, messages written in invisible ink, miniature cameras, and secret transmitters. In 1981, he gave the CIA the secret plans to crush Solidarity. Then, about to be discovered, he made a dangerous escape with his family to the West. He still lives in hiding in America.Kuklinski's story is a harrowing personal drama about one man's decision to betray the Communist leadership in order to save the country he loves, and the intense debate it spurred over whether he was a traitor or a patriot. Through extensive interviews and access to the CIA's secret archive on the case, Benjamin Weiser offers an unprecedented and richly detailed look at this secret history of the Cold War.

    • This seminar paper explores the shift in U.S. foreign policy from Europe to Asia, termed the "Pivot to Asia," emphasizing the intertwined nature of security and economy in the Asia-Pacific. It critiques traditional hard power approaches, questioning whether the U.S. strategy reflects a cooperative neoliberal-institutionalist stance or neorealist politics.

      życie ściśle tajne

      W 1992 roku autor przeprowadził wywiad - rzekę z pułkownikiem Ryszardem Kuklińskim, przebywającym w zakonspirowanym miejscu w Wirginii, pod opieką CIA. W opinii Weisera, Kukliński jest bohaterem, który narażając życie, w znaczący sposób przyczynił się do rozmontowania sowieckiej machiny militarnej. Książka pokazuje Kuklińskiego od nigdy wcześniej nie prezentowanej strony. Zawiera wiele informacji o kulisach prasy wywiadu.

    • Die Forschungsarbeit analysiert die Krisenpolitik der EU seit 2008, insbesondere die Rolle der Austeritätspolitik als vermeintliche Lösung. Trotz ihrer zentralen Stellung wird die Unwirksamkeit dieser Maßnahmen, auch vom IWF bestätigt, thematisiert. Die Arbeit untersucht, wie sich der Diskurs in Deutschland hin zu strikten Sparmaßnahmen entwickelte.
