Description

A gripping and compelling account of one of modern statecraft's greatest achievements, the peaceful ending of the Cold War between West and East remains a remarkable story. The world changed dramatically as the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, marking a turning point in global history. Historian Kristina Spohr offers a bold interpretation of this pivotal moment, exploring how international leaders worked together to forge a new world order without major conflict. Spohr's analysis reveals the crucial role played by a small group of diplomats who engaged in tough but cooperative negotiation, reinventing the institutions of the Cold War. She also sheds light on the contrasting experiences of different regions, from Europe to Asia, and how these events shaped the post-1989 world.
