Jazz, Rock, and Rebels: Cold War Politics and American Culture in a Divided Germany by Uta G. Poiger

challenging informative slow-paced

3.25

I read this for a class I'm taking on the United States during the Cold War.  At times this was interesting, but it was also very dry and sometimes hard to get through.  Individual chapters focus on specific events and time periods in Germany and Berlin during the 1950s and 60s, so some chapters were of more interest to me than others.  Very academic, so if you're looking for an analysis of how East and West Germany reacted to western influence during the Cold War, this is for you!
