Book Description Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. The author tells how the Wall grew from the confusions of the post-war years, when the Soviet Union and the Western powers, sharing occupation of the capital city of their humbled wartime enemy, set the stage for the Cold War. He describes the grim episodes on the way towards the final division of the city - the Berlin blockade, the bloody East Berlin workers' uprising, and the mass migration westward of East German refugees through Berlin. And he shows how this humiliating exodus, which threatened the stability of the entire Soviet East European empire, could be stopped only by the building of the Berlin Wall. The story is one of power politics and global brinkmanship, of hawks and doves, of brilliant caculation and an intelligence failure of dazzling proportions. it is about the confrontation over Berlin between John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khruschev - two of the most exciting political persoanalities of recent times - and about how the building of the Wall graduated into a nuclear showdown between the superpowers. The author was there on that August night twenty-five years ago when Berlin was broken in two, and his personal experiences help define the tragedy of the divided city. Though it represents failure to both sides, the Berlin Wall is still there, still dissecting one of the great cities of Europe, still enfolding and quarantining the only island of political freedom to survive behind Communist lines.
