AFP. 9 January 2002. Former East German Stasi leaders to publish book.
LEIPZIG -- Twenty former leaders of the East German secret police, the Stasi, are getting ready to publish a book to defend the former communist regime's security policies. The 1,000-page book is to be published in March. Its authors include Gerhard Neiber and Wolfgang Schwanitz, both former deputies to Stasi chief Erich Mielke, as well as the last East German interior minister, Peter-Michael Diestel. The authors said they had written the book, "Security -- on the defence policies of the Ministry of State Security", to set the record straight in light of current criticism about the Stasi's activities. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
