THE BERLIN WALL: August 13, 1961--November 9, 1989

On the morning of August 13, 1961, the residents of East Berlin found themselves cut off from family and jobs in the West by a tangle of barbed-wire that split a city of four million in two. In the definitive history on the subject, Taylor weaves together official history, archival materials, and personal accounts to tell the complete story of the Wall's rise and fall. 16 pages of photos.
