Holger Pfahl, retired former head of Germany's counter-espionage service and deputy director of the BND, "has disappeared on his way back" to Germany where he was slated "to testify in a politically explosive corruption investigation." Pfahl was to return to Munich from Taiwan for "questioning on charges that he received a kickback for the sale of German armoured vehicles to Saudi Arabia" while working for Daimler Chrysler after his retirement from government in 1992. "There is speculation that he has gone to ground in mainland China."

"The fate of tens of thousands of Germans who disappeared inside the Soviet Union" after World War II may be solved by the handover this week to the German Red Cross of KGB files containing the "names, addresses, death dates and the site of their graves" of more than 10,000 Germans.

Times (London), 2 Feb. 2000. [http://www.the-times.co.uk]
According to disclosures on 1 February 2000, "[m]illions of marks from Germany's espionage budget were channelled into secret party funds to strengthen democracy in Spain and Portugal in the 1970s and 1980s. Some may have flowed back to fund election campaigns in Germany." These disclosures "gave another twist to the scandal that has disgraced Helmut Kohl and rocked the [German] political establishment."

Petersen calls this "a solid overview of the case," although Pforzheimer opines that the "use of the word 'Definitive' in the sub-title of this book is at best an exaggeration."
Chambers categorizes The Climate of Treason as "perhaps one of the best books on the Cambridge Five. Well written. I enjoyed it immensely." Constantinides recommends reading the revised version, which actually names Blunt as the "Fourth Man."
Cram recommends the book, "despite its numerous errors of fact and interpretation, because it is a good read on the Cambridge spies." Publication of the book forced the exposure of Anthony Blunt. It is "far superior to John Costello's long-winded Mask of Treachery." However, Boyle makes "a grotesque and inexplicable error" when he points to an atomic scientist, codenamed "Basil." "Unsubstantiated claims about Basil's identity tend to downgrade the credibility of Boyle's work."
