  From Berlin's origins as a small, medieval town, to its 18th-century role as the capital of Prussia, through the cultural flowering of the Weimar Republic and the bitter years of the Third Reich to the euphoric reunification in 1989 and into the 21st century, McLachlan unfolds the city's diverse and fascinating past. He skillfully weaves literary, architectural and historical themes into detailed descriptions of Berlin's landmark monuments and museums, embellished with in-depth cultural reports.
