"This is a work of more than historical interest. Elisabeth Braw's shrewd and often scathing analysis of the characters involved and the issues they are dealing with leads us to draw many lessons for the modern world, and to wonder how things could be diffrent. Well worth reading. " 
James Arbuthnot, the Rt Hon Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom

"God's Spies is a gripping account of the sinister work of East Germany's Stasi secret police in its decades-long attempt to manipulate and exploit people's most sacred and private personla beliefs. Elisabeth Braw writes with insight and sympathy, based on unique material from not only the victims, but also - in a rare feat of reporting - from the perpetrators [...] you will find this book unputdownable." 
Edward Lucas, author and columnist for The Times.
