In 1992, after the opening of the Stasi archives, British historian Timothy Garton Ash searched for his own file, discovering that he was known as "Romeo." This book narrates his personal investigation, contrasting memories and documents to reveal the distortions created by the secret service of communist Germany. Ash interviews former friends who turned out to be watchers, seeking to understand the human weakness behind the betrayals, without rancor, only with the desire to understand the human capacity for self-deception.
Timothy Garton Ash is a British historian, author and commentator. He is Professor of European Studies emeritus at the University of Oxford and a Senior Fellow of Stanford University's Hoover Institution. Most of his work has been concerned with the contemporary history of Europe, with a special focus on Central and Eastern Europe. In 1989, George Kennan described him as a 'historian of the present'.
