Dispatch: September 2009 368 pages Perry Kretz Augen auf und durch! Mein Leben als Fotoreporter Open Your Eyes and Go for It! My Life as a Photo- Journalist Non-Fiction ‘You have to be clever and subtle; but above all, your opponents must also have respect for you.’ Perry Kretz, the well-known reporter for Stern magazine, has looked down into the depths of countless human souls. ‘A dead journalist is a bad journalist’ is the motto which has kept him alive for decades through wars, revolutions and gang warfare. Whether in Vietnam or in the two wars against Saddam Hussein, in the Balkans or Nicaragua, in Cambodia or Somalia or as the oldest ‘embedded journalist’ in Iraq, Perry Kretz has an unerring feel for danger. It attracts him, he photographs it – and he knows how to escape from it. His main theme is people facing death. How do they behave when they are about to be executed? What do they feel when pointing a gun at a neighbour? Kretz tells stories full of the strong human emotions – fear and greed, hunger for power and courage. Half a century of contemporary history is stored in his experience and in his photographic archives – half a century in which he never lost faith in God, in humankind or in himself. Perry Kretz was born in Cologne in 1933 and in 1950 went to New York, where he began his studies in journalism. After taking American citizenship he started his career as a photographer for the New York Post, the Keystone picture agency and the New York Police Department. Since 1969 he has worked as a photo-journalist for Stern magazine and above all made a name for himself for his highly-charged documentaries from zones of war and death all over the world. Among his best reporting, for which he has won many awards, are Die Hölle von St. Quentin (The Hell of St Quentin), Die kleinen Banditen von Bogotá (The Little Bandits of Bogotá), New York Street Gangs and many others. Perry Kretz lives in Hamburg, working as a freelance photo-journalist. . 18
Dispatch: October 2009 240 pages Stefan Aust Deutschland, Deutschland Expedition durch die Wendezeit Germany, Germany. Experiences at the Time of Reunification Non-Fiction An historic event. Stefan Aust’s new book is a fascinating chronicle of the greatest upheaval in the history of the Federal Republic. Aust was right on the spot when the Wall fell and during the confused years after the ‘second h-hour’. A book in the style of live reportage and a journalistic adventure story which brings the events of the reunification period immediately before our eyes ‘That was the day when the Second World War came to an end ...’ This was how Stefan Aust, then chief editor of Spiegel TV, began the commentary he wrote during the night when the barrier in the Bornholmer Straße went up and people from the East streamed unimpeded into the West. Two days before he had sent a reporter and a camera team to East Berlin to keep an eye on the Wall, because he had a suspicion that something was about to happen there. In his new book he tells how he and his colleagues experienced at close quarters the collapse of the GDR and the developments leading to reunification. A thrilling, first-hand report of contemporary history, close to the people and full of colourful episodes and new information. Stefan Aust, born in 1946, was for many years editor- in- chief of the news magazine Der Spiegel and founder, now publisher, of Spiegel TV. From 1966 to 1969 he edited the magazine Konkret and from 1970 to 1985 worked at the Norddeutscher Rundfunk, in particular on the magazine programme Panorama. He has written numerous book titles and TV documentaries, most recently in collaboration with Helmar Büchel, Die RAF (The Red Army Faction) on ARD in 2007, the screenplay for the feature film Stammheim (1986), which was awarded the Golden Bear, and collaborated on the screenplay of the cinema film based on his bestselling book Der Baader Meinhof Komplex (2008). 19
