Legendäre Spionagefälle

Johannes Seiffert entführt seine Leser in die geheimnisumwobene Welt der Spione und Agenten. Anhand von 25 spektakulären, aber auch bislang unbekannten Spionagefällen des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts entschlüsselt der Autor Mythen und Mythologien um das "zweitälteste Gewerbe der Welt" und seiner Protagonisten. Dabei spannt er einen weiten Bogen: von Oberst Redl bis Edward Snowden, von Mata Hari bis Katrina Leung, von Richard Sorge bis Julian Assange. Einen besonderen Fokus legt er auf die deutsch-deutsche Spionagegeschichte, wofür die Namen Reinhard Gehlen, Otto John und Heinz Felfe, aber auch Gabriele Gast, Günter Guillaume und Werner Stiller stehen. Auch US-amerikanische "Maulwürfe" nimmt er in Augenschein, wie die Doppelagenten Aldrich Ames und Robert Hanssen. Dass der einstige Regierungschef Schwedens, Olof Palme, vermutlich ein CIA-Agent war, thematisiert er ebenso wie die Affäre Boursicot um einen liebeskranken Angestellten der französischen Botschaft in Peking. Und er erzählt die Geschichte zweier veritabler Ost-James-Bonds, die weithin unbekannten Fälle von Horst Hesse und Hans Wax. Zudem präsentiert er neue Erkenntnisse zu Ruth Werner alias "Sonja", die angeblich Stalins wichtigste Agentin im Zweiten Weltkrieg war. Über all das und vieles mehr bringt der Autor Unwahrheiten, Halbwahrheiten und Täuschungen zum Vorschein und analysiert, wie es wirklich gewesen ist. Ein populär aufbereiteter zeitgeschichtlicher Band um Lügen, Intrigen und Verrat.

Hacking: What Every Beginner Needs to Know , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 90min

Have you watched the news lately? They can't stop talking about hacking. It is portrayed in movies, shouted about in media headlines, and typically gets a lot of attention. In fact, in the run up to the 2016 US Presidential election, there were allegations made nearly every day that the Russians were influencing the election by hacking into American databases and systems. And who can forget Julian Assange and his infamous WikiLeaks that successfully hacked into hundreds of thousands of emails, and whose actions may have kept Hillary Clinton out of the White House. All this is commonly known as black hat hacking - where the hacker gets onto a network in the hopes of obtaining information that was not intended for their use. However, there is another side of hacking - known as ethical hacking - that operates within the legal frameworks. In fact, many companies pay "ethical hackers" hefty salaries to keep their organization's information safe. After listening to this book, there's no reason you can't become one of those individuals and dramatically increase your paycheck!

Für Journalisten ist er ein Star: Alan Rusbridger, seit 20 Jahren Chefredakteur des britischen Guardian, hat seine Zeitung zum führenden kritischen englischsprachigen Blatt gemacht, auf beiden Seiten des Atlantik. Und er hat wie kein zweiter in der Branche die revolutionären Herausforderungen des Internet angenommen. Im vergangenen Jahr erhielt Rusbridger zusammen mit dem Enthüller der amerikanischen Geheimdienstpraktiken Edward Snowden den alternativen Nobelpreis für seine unerschrockene Aufklärungsarbeit im öffentlichen Interesse.Doch es gibt noch eine ganz andere Seite des hochdekorierten Journalisten: der Klavierspieler Rusbridger, der sich seinem Instrument mit ähnlicher Hingabe verschrieben hat, wie dem Kampf gegen staatliche Willkür. Als er während eines Workshops in Frankreich einen Hobby-Pianisten Chopins Ballade Nr. 1 spielen hört, packt ihn der Ehrgeiz. Ein Jahr lang übt er jeden Tag 20 Minuten lang das Furcht einflößende Stück, das zu den schwierigsten des Repertoires gehört. In seinem Buch nimmt Rusbridger uns mit an die Grenzen dessen, was ein Freizeit-Musiker an Fingerfertigkeit, Konzentration, Beherrschung und Musikalität erreichen kann. Wir erfahren, was Pianisten wie Murray Perahia, Richard Goode, Emanuel Ax, Daniel Barenboim, Stephen Hough and Alfred Brendel ihm raten, wie Musikhistoriker und -theoretiker ihn anspornen und Neurowissenschaftler ihm auf ganz andere Weise erklären, was Klavierspielen eigentlich ist.Gleichzeitig sind wir dabei, wie Rusbridger in Tripolis während des Bürgerkrieges in Libyen Reporter aus Geiselhaft befreit, wie er eine komplizierte Partnerschaft mit dem eigenwilligen WikiLeaks-Gründer Julian Assange, der New York Times und dem deutschen Spiegel managt und wie er den Telefon-Abhörskandal des britischen Magazins News of the World an die Öffentlichkeit bringt.

WikiLeaks and the Age of Transparency , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 272min

The United States government is diligent - some might say to the point of obsession - in defending its borders against invaders, be they terrorists, natural disasters, or illegal immigrants. Now we are told a small, international band of renegades armed with nothing more than laptops presents the greatest threat to the US regime since the close of the Cold War. WikiLeaks' release of a massive trove of secret official documents has riled politicians from across the spectrum. The WikiLeaks organizers themselves "are going to have blood on their hands" (US Senator Joe Lieberman); it is the "9/11 of world diplomacy" (Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini); and they present "a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States" (US Congressman Peter King). Even noted free-speech advocate Floyd Abrams says that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange "may yet have much to answer for" and blames him for the certain defeat of federal shield-law legislation protecting journalists. Hyperbole, hysteria? Certainly. We heard much the same in 1971, when Daniel Ellsberg released the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times (ironically, Abrams was the Times' lawyer in that case). Welcome to the age of transparency. But political analyst and writer Micah Sifry argues that WikiLeaks is not the whole story; it is a symptom, an indicator of an ongoing generational and philosophical struggle between older, closed systems, and the new open culture of the Internet. "What is new," he writes, "is our ability to connect, individually and together, with greater ease than at any time in human history. As a result, information is flowing more freely into the public arena, powered by seemingly unstoppable networks of people all over the world cooperating to share vital data and prevent its suppression." Despite Assange's arrest, the publication of secret documents continues, and websites replicating WikiLeaks' activities have sprung ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alan Schwartz.

Yuri Bezmenov: The Life and Legacy of the Influential KGB Informant Who Defected to the West , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 136min

“The main emphasis of the KGB is not in the area of intelligence at all. Only about 15 percent of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage and such. The other 85 percent is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion or active measures...or psychological warfare.” - Yuri BezmenovThe KGB is one of the most famous abbreviations of the 20th century, and it has become synonymous with the shadowy and often violent actions of the Soviet Union’s secret police and internal security agencies. In fact, it is often used to refer to the Soviet state security agencies throughout its history, from the inception of the inception of the Cheka (Extraordinary Commission) in 1917 to the official elimination of the KGB in 1992. Whether it’s associated with the Russian Civil War’s excesses, Stalin’s purges, and even Vladimir Putin, the KGB has long been viewed as the West’s biggest bogeyman during the second half of the 20th century. Inevitably, some of the Cold War’s most shadowy actions involved trying to turn Soviet assets, whether for propaganda or intelligence purposes, but the Soviet system constantly had to worry about defections, as evidenced by the construction of the Berlin Wall in the early 1960s. That said, while the whistleblowers may be celebrated if they damage the public relations of an adversary, they can be controversial if they damage one’s own country, as evidenced by the polarizing reputations of individuals like Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. Yuri Bezmenov was among the first Soviet whistleblowers to attract attention on a global scale, and interest in his story has recently been revived thanks to his surprising cameo in the teaser trailer for Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War in August 2020. This came despite the fact he was far from the first ex-KGB agent or Russian to pull back the curtains on the Russian government and reveal the harrowing “truths” they were once sworn to harbor. ungekürzt.

The Plot to Hack America: How Putin's Cyberspies and WikiLeaks Tried to Steal the 2016 Election , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 373min

In April 2016, computer technicians at the Democratic National Committee discovered that someone had accessed the organization's computer servers and conducted a theft that is best described as Watergate 2.0. In the weeks that followed, the nation's top computer security experts discovered that the cyber thieves had helped themselves to everything: sensitive documents, emails, donor information, even voice mails. Soon after, the remainder of the Democratic Party machine, the congressional campaign, the Clinton campaign, and their friends and allies in the media were also hacked. Credit card numbers, phone numbers, and contacts were stolen. In short order, the FBI found that more than 25 state election offices had their voter registration systems probed or attacked by the same hackers. Western intelligence agencies tracked the hack to Russian spy agencies and dubbed them the Cyber Bears. The media was soon flooded with the stolen information channeled through Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks. It was a massive attack on America but the Russian hacks appeared to have a singular goal - elect Donald J. Trump as president of the United States. New York Times best-selling author and career intelligence officer Malcolm Nance's fast paced real-life spy thriller takes you from Vladimir Putin's rise through the KGB from junior officer to spymaster-in-chief and spells out the story of how he performed the ultimate political manipulation - convincing Donald Trump to abandon 70 years of American foreign policy including the destruction of NATO, cheering the end of the European Union, allowing Russian domination of Eastern Europe, and destroying the existing global order with America at its lead. The Plot to Hack America is the thrilling true story of how Putin's spy agency, run by the Russian billionaire class, used the promise of power and influence to cultivate Trump as well as his closest aides, the Kremlin Crew, to beco ungekürzt.
