Violación de seguridad

Sumérgete en el oscuro mundo del espionaje con el innovador relato histórico de David Irving, "Breach of Security". Este libro meticulosamente investigado arroja luz sobre el secreto alemán Forschungsamt, la elusiva agencia de inteligencia encargada de realizar escuchas telefónicas y descifrar códigos durante el régimen nazi. Publicada por primera vez en 1967, esta convincente narrativa sigue siendo una de las pocas exposiciones detalladas sobre la agencia que jugó un papel fundamental en la recopilación de inteligencia que condujo a la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

“Breach of Security” unveils the clandestine operations of the Forschungsamt, an organization that remained largely unknown to Allied intelligence during WWII. Irving navigates through the remnants of a past shrouded in secrecy, piecing together the agency’s comprehensive reports on international and domestic political and economic affairs. With its headquarters destroyed and records obliterated in the dying days of the war, the Forschungsamt’s story was nearly lost to history until Irving’s meticulous research brought it back to the surface.

Employing over three thousand individuals and operating on a budget of twenty-five million Reichsmarks, the Forschungsamt’s “passive” intelligence gathering illuminated the dark corridors of power and war. From tapping German telephones to breaking diplomatic codes, this book chronicles the extensive reach of the agency’s ears, from public broadcasts to the most confidential communications.

“David Irving, a remarkable researcher, a brilliant discoverer of documents and a skilful writer, tells the story well . . . He has mastered his material . . . Very readable.” Prof. Hugh Trevor-Roper, in The Sunday Telegraph
