Echoes of Freedom: The Rise and Fall of the Berlin Wall

With its rise on August 13, 1961, the course of Germany's--and especially Berlin's--history took a tragic turn. It would take 28 years to tear down this cruel and inhuman symbol of Germany´s division, thus giving birth to yet another period in this European nation’s evolution. German historian Anette Isaacs presents a historical and political overview of this very painful but also almost miraculous period in Berlin’s captivating history.
