About this book
The Berlin Wall: Barrier to Freedom recounts the political decisions and everyday events that led East Germany's Communist government to erect a wall dividing Berlin in August 1961. It follows families separated by the barrier, describing the dangers they faced and the clandestine ways they tried to reach the West. The book also explains how the wall stood for nearly three decades, shaping Cold-War politics until its fall in 1989.
