| Summary |
This best-selling history of East Germany begins with its inception in the aftermath of World War II, its crucial role in the Cold War, and its eventual demise during the collapse of Communism in the late 1980s.
When the Iron Curtain fell, East Germany ceased to be. For over forty years the German Democratic Republic presented a radically different Germany than what had come before and what exists today. Hoyer sets aside the usual Cold War caricatures of the GDR to offer a new vision of this vanished country. She reveals the rich political, social and cultural landscape that existed amid oppression and hardship. -- adapted from jacket
