Description

The Berlin Wall: 13 August 1961-9 November 1989 A gripping account of one of the most pivotal moments in modern history, this book tells the story of the post-war political conflict that led to the division of Berlin and the construction of the infamous wall. Fred Taylor's meticulously researched narrative weaves together history, personal stories, and original archive research to create a compelling portrait of a city and its people on the brink of destruction. The result is a gripping and thought-provoking exploration of the Cold War era, which lasted until the very people the Wall had been built to imprison breached it in 1989. With a new Postscript commemorating the thirtieth anniversary of the wall's fall, this reissued edition provides a timely and authoritative account of one of the most significant events of the 20th century.
