Das Geheimnis meines Vaters

For a long time Corinna von Bassewitz thought that her father was a soldier, later that he was a diplomat. By chance, she found out something incredible when she was 16: he worked as a secret agent for the Federal Intelligence Service (BND). When the secret was at least partially solved, she became an informer on her own account and found confidential documents in the attic of her parents' house. Later, she realised that her father had led a life as an agent for the FRG. In addition to her family history, the author provides complex and exciting insights into the historical context of the Cold War. A very personal book, captivatingly narrated and emotionally touching.
