Description
A gripping and compelling account of the world's transformation after 1989, Post Wall, Post Square offers a bold and novel interpretation of the revolutionary upheaval of that year. Historian Kristina Spohr draws on newly declassified archival sources to explore how a small cohort of international leaders worked together to forge a new world order. The book examines the key players in this process, including US President George H. W. Bush and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, as well as British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and German Chancellor Helmut Kohl. Spohr also delves into the contrasting experiences of Europe and Asia, shedding new light on the events in Berlin, Moscow, and Beijing. By weaving together these different timelines, Spohr reveals a complex and nuanced picture of how the world was rebuilt in the aftermath of the Cold War.
