A fresh, controversial, brilliantly written account of one of the epic dramas of the Cold War-and its lessons for today.
"History at its best." -Zbigniew Brzezinski
"Gripping, well researched, and thought-provoking, with many lessons for today." -Henry Kissinger
"Captures the drama [with] the 'You are there' storytelling skills of a journalist and the analytical skills of the political scientist." - General Brent Scowcroft
In June 1961, Nikita Khrushchev called it "the most dangerous place on earth." He knew what he was talking about.
Much has been written about the Cuban Missile Crisis a year later, but the Berlin Crisis of 1961 was more decisive in shaping the Cold War-and more perilous. For the first time in history, American and Soviet fighting men and tanks stood arrayed against each other, only yards apart. One mistake, one overzealous commander-and the trip wire would be sprung for a war that would go nuclear in a heartbeat. On one side was a young, untested U.S. president still reeling from the Bay of Pigs disaster. On the other, a Soviet premier hemmed in by the Chinese, the East Germans, and hard-liners in his own government. Neither really understood the other, both tried cynically to manipulate events. And so, week by week, the dangers grew.
Based on a wealth of new documents and interviews, filled with fresh- sometimes startling-insights, written with immediacy and drama, Berlin 1961 is a masterly look at key events of the twentieth century, with powerful applications to these early years of the twenty- first.

評分 評分这是我今年看过的到目前为止最好的一本书。 一直都不大喜欢看关于近代史的书,总觉得作者因为时代的原因可能不是太过于客观,之前看过最好的书莫过于威廉夏伊勒的《第三帝国的兴亡》,而这次的这本《柏林 1961》让我眼前一亮,非常好的近代历史的书籍。 对于柏林墙这一段历史...
評分看柏林1961年,会想到万历十五年,切取历史一个断面,写尽各色人群的经历与感受。 肯尼迪与赫鲁晓夫的对比是这本书最让人玩味的,肯尼迪的青涩(哈,非常有意思的描写,但感觉反而亲切),曾经印象中一个公子哥,梦露的情人,在历史横断面里表现出的,是在老辣的赫鲁晓夫面前的...
評分黄艾禾/文 我们都知道德国首都柏林曾有一道“柏林墙”,它修起来30年后,又被拆了。它修起来的年代,我懵懵懂懂,只知道世界被分为了“社会主义阵营”和“资本主义阵营”,我们是属于前者的;它被拆了的时候,我们听说,冷战结束了。 《柏林1961:肯尼迪、赫...
