  The postcards in this fascinating volume trace the Wall from its beginnings as a simple stretch of barbed wire, to the daunting final structure containing over 300 watchtowers. Haunting images include Allied and East German soldiers coldly observing one another with binoculars and John F. Kennedy in 1963 declaring his solidarity with all Berliners.
