One of my favourite works of non-fiction
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Fantastic account of that most shameful episode in post-war German history; compellingly readable, with no punches pulled. Mr Cate pays particular attention to the 'human' factor, to the 'ordinary' people whose lives were so tragically affected by the building of The Wall and its aftermath. Even those with no particular interest in politics or history would be gripped by this book. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
