The Fall of the Berlin Wall (Days That Shook the World)

by PatLevy (Author)

Synopsis

This title describes events on the day the Berlin Wall fell, and the effect it had on Germany and the rest of Europe. It also looks at the history of the Wall, explaining why it was built, as well as looking at the implications of what happened in the wider context of 20th century history. Real life accounts are included in moment-in-time boxes, acting as a freeze frame of people's thoughts, emotions and experiences as those from West Germany were at last free to travel to the East and vice versa. It is complete with photographs, a glossary, timelines and an index.
