Stained Glass is a 1978 Blackford Oakes novel by William F. Buckley, Jr. It is the second novel in the series.
Oakes's second assignment sends him to West Germany where he is infiltrated into the inner-circle of a charismatic and heroic nobleman, Count Wintergrin, who intends to run for the West German Chancellorship on platform of immediate re-unification with East Germany.
Although this is ultimately in the interest of the Western Powers and NATO, the threat of Soviet invasion of West Europe means that Oakes must prevent Wintergrin's election, by whatever means necessary.
