Abraham Ziv-Tal
This is the amazing story of an Austrian Jew who ran the Nazis' leading espionage ring - "Max and Moritz."
The book describes in detail the spy network and the elusive figure who headed it - Ricard Kauder. Nazi intelligence chiefs, Kauder's superiors, retained his services despite Hitler's explicit orders to the contrary; after the war the British believed that he had been exploited unknowingly, the victim of his own greed for material gain; the Americans were convinced he was a Soviet spy; the Russians denied all knowledge of him; and the State of Israel and its citizens are indebted to the man more than they can ever imagine. All traces of Kauder were lost after the war.
The author, Avraham Ziv-Tal, spent years traveling the globe sifting through military archives and collecting documents and testimonies - some only recently declassified; others still under lock and key- that shed light on the shadowy war waged by various espionage agencies during World War Two.
In the center of this clandestine struggle spins the labyrinthine web of Maskirovka - the Russians' unprecedentedly successful application of deception and decoy.
