A propos de cet article

Hardcover. The British Commanders'-in-Chief Mission to the Soviet Forces in Germany (BRIXMIS) was a military liaison mission which operated behind the Berlin Wall during the height of the Cold War. This liaison was undertaken by the 31 members 11 officers and no more than 20 others appointed to each mission. One of these men was former intelligence officer, Will Britten. In Over the Wall, Britten lifts the lid on what it was like working on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain. During this period, Berlin was a hotbed of spying between the East and West. BRIXMIS was established as a trusted channel of communication between the Red Army and the British Army on the Rhine. However, they acted in the shadows to steal advanced Soviet equipment and penetrate top secret training areas. Over the Wall offers a more detailed and critical analysis of what the mission did and why, concluding that the Soviets must have known some of their agents had been turned by the Allies and that their intelligence had been compromised. Additionally, the book examines, for the first time, the period after the fall of the Berlin Wall, up until the complete Soviet withdrawal in 1992, when BRIXMIS was succeeded by an organisation working covertly. It also explores the Soviet equivalent mission based in the US sector of West Germany, revealing how it operated in stark contrast to BRIXMIS. AUTHOR: Will Britten served in the British Army from 1978 to 2005 and was a senior officer in the Intelligence Corps. He operated as a HUMINT officer in Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Cyprus and Iraq. He was part of the BRIXMIS unit, a unique liaison unit, in East Germany and witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall. He subsequently operated as a Military Intelligence Liaison Officer in some of the world's hotspots, including Sierra Leone, Kosovo and Angola, and directed the UK military's covert intelligence training at the Specialist Intelligence Wing, in Ashford, Kent. 21 b/w illustrations Former intelligence officer Will Britten lifts the lid on his work for BRIXMIS at the height of the Cold War Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
