Educated in Russia, Wolfgang Leonhard was sent by Moscow in 1945 to help install Stalinist socialism in the Soviet sector of defeated Germany at the outset of the Cold War. Disillusioned, he became what he called the "first dissident" of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and, later, a historian.

In 1948, just ahead of the founding of the Soviet-style East German state, Leonhard broke with the GDR founder Walter Ulbricht and fled to Yugoslavia a year later, and, eventually, on to the newly created West Germany, where he became a linchpin for dissidents.

For 21 years, until 1987, he was a professor at Yale University in the US.
