Description
The Berlin Wall: A City Divided In 1961, a sudden and dramatic barrier appeared overnight, splitting the city of Berlin into two parts. This concrete border, known as the Berlin Wall, was erected to separate East and West Berlin, with far-reaching consequences for those living on either side. For over 28 years, the wall stood as a potent symbol of the Cold War Era, when the United States and the USSR were locked in a state of tension. It restricted movement between the two parts of the city, effectively cutting off thousands from their families and friends. Despite the risks, many attempted to breach the wall, with over 100 dying in the attempt. Author Nico Medina sheds light on the complex web of spy-versus-spy politics that led to the wall's construction, as well as its eventual removal in 1989.
