On the morning of August 13, 1961, the residents of East Berlin found themselves cut off from family, friends and jobs in the West by a tangle of barbed wire that ruthlessly cut a city of four million in two. Within days the barbed-wire entanglement would undergo an extraordinary metamorphosis: it became an imposing 103-mile-long wall guarded by three hundred watchtowers. A physical manifestation of the struggle between Soviet Communism and American capitalism—totalitarianism and freedom—that would stand for nearly thirty years, the Berlin Wall was the high-risk fault line between East and West on which rested the fate of all humanity. Many brave people risked their lives to overcome this lethal barrier, and some paid the ultimate price.

In this captivating work, sure to be the definitive history on the subject, Frederick Taylor weaves together official history, archival materials, and personal accounts to tell the complete story of the Wall's rise and fall, from the postwar political tensions that created a divided Berlin to the internal and external pressures that led to the Wall's demise. In addition, he explores the geopolitical ramifications as well as the impact the wall had on ordinary lives that is still felt today. For the first time the entire world faced the threat of imminent nuclear apocalypse, a fear that would be eased only when the very people the Wall had been built to imprison breached it on the historic night of November 9, 1989.

Gripping and authoritative, The Berlin Wall is the first comprehensive account of a divided city and its people in a time when the world seemed to stand permanently on the edge of destruction.

对于柏林墙倒塌之后出生的这代人来说,柏林墙似乎从来都是一个宣传“自由”的阵地。它曾经的存在是野蛮而反人类的,有关它的故事全部围绕着“逃”这一个字的主题,它记载了整整一个时代德国人的血泪史,而最终又是人类对自由的无尽向往将它推倒。弗雷德里克•泰勒先生的这本...

柏林墙代表什么?读完《柏林墙》后明白其实一千个人心目中有一千个柏林墙。不过在我们看来,柏林墙最大的意义在于:这堵对本国人民的禁锢与奴役的墙,鲜活又生动地揭示了为了自由,两德人民与政府究竟愿意付出怎样的代价。 是的,迫使东德政府修建这堵墙的东德人民...

《柏林墙》中的一段“东柏林的群众兴奋地狂呼着涌向柏林墙,而旁边的警察、官员无动于衷”,揭露了德国的百姓不认同德国这样的社会主义,德国统一社会党在发展社会主义方面有什么失误?其实失误很多。主要是经济没搞好,而这也有多方面的原因。 东部经济没有搞好,有经...

世人从柏林墙的倒塌中得到了一个明确的信息。原先的一些国家纷纷摒弃了政府主导的经济发展方式。接受美国教育的经济学家占据了发展中国家财政部的要职,并开始执行“符合美国意愿”的经济议程。自由市场、私有化和解除管制成了当时的潮流,这三种趋势崇尚的是快速增长、经济...
