The suggested work is not a book, but a movie, The Lives of Others, the story of a Stasi captain given a political eavesdropping assignment in East Berlin.A meditation on the dehumanizing effects of a totalitarian regime, it's both thought-provoking and one of the most emotionally powerful movies I've ever seen.
I have the DVD, which I can circulate if people are interested. (German, with English subtitles.)
