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》这本书,随着你逐步深入的阅读下去,不难发现作者是以一个典型的西方国家的视角来描述其所见所闻的冷战时期的德国。书中不仅对当时冷战时期的德国现状有所描述,同时通过书中故事的情节勾画描摹,也极容易的能够使人感受到当时处在东、西德的人们的不同生活状态,...

《柏林墙》:柏林墙背道而行,苏联是一错再错 无可否认,柏林墙是德国历史上永久的伤疤。所谓的看待柏林墙修筑的正确面这样的说法是非常可笑的。柏林墙的建立,本来就是一个错。而在这个错误发生之前,苏联早就犯了个严重的错误,柏林墙只不过是一错再错。 ...

20多年前,柏林人曾因推倒柏林墙而大感畅快淋漓。可现在,他们却有些后悔,因为当初毁掉柏林墙太过彻底,以至于如今来柏林的游客几乎找不到它的历史痕迹。在庆祝柏林墙倒塌20周年之际,许多柏林人倒希望,当初应该留下更完整的墙体结构作为历史纪念。为此,德国也意识到了...

像小说一样紧张生动,并且充满了身为英国佬的必要的自嘲。频频为这人间苦难撒热泪,幸亏结局是个幸福结局——总之还是哭了。
