The Berlin Wall: A World Divided, 1961-1989 by Frederick Taylor
dark
informative
medium-paced
3.0
Bought this book while in Germany to learn more about the Cold War. I would note that the first half of the book recounts many parts of Berlin’s history prior to August 13, 1961 when the wall was first established.
Taylor does a great job of explaining the parallels in German history and explains the historical moments with thoughtful clarity. For such a dense book I read it very quickly and would recommend to someone wanting to learn more about the topic.
