This is fascinating on a number of levels. When the author was a child, living in Germany, he would do things with the family of his best friend. They'd go to the pool, on picnics, that sort of thing.
After the wall fell, and we got to see the documents of the Stasi, the parents of his friend were arrested for being spies, for the Stasi (the East German version of the CIA).
The book he wrote is about how authors had to face the pressure of the propaganda war of the Cold War. How they dealt with "this web of complicity".
I look forward to reading the book.
