Anton-Andreas Guha
Anton Andreas Guha (April 1, 1937 - February 2010 in Frankfurt) was a German journalist and author.
Life
Shortly after his birth his family moved to Frauenau to the Bavarian Forest. With his brother, he graduated from high school in Regensburg. He studied German, history and English, and later sociology and psychology.
In 1967, after an encounter with Karl Gerold, he began working as an editor at the Frankfurter Rundschau,[1] where he was responsible for South America and Security Policy.
In December 1977, he was offered a position in the planning department of the Bonn chancellery where he learned that for years he had been subjected to surveillance by the secret service.[2] In 1978 he received the Wächterpreis der Tagespresse, a German journalism award for excellence in investigative reporting, for his discovery that travelers who carried literature considered left-wing extremist would be harassed by the border police.[3][4] He was a critic of the security and defense policy of NATO and the German government. In 1983, a number of works of nuclear holocaust fiction appeared, and Guha published his Ende: A Diary of the Third World War.[5]
Quotes
"Only boundless naivety can assume that these Euro-strategic weapons systems could have been developed without concrete and definite military-political ideas about their use."
