Berlin Then And Now

Chronicling the history of Berlin, this book charts the Communist-Nazi struggle of the Weimar Republic; the Thousand Year Reich with its penchant for show and architectural grandeur which transformed the city; and its consequent battering by the Allies and the Soviets by air and land respectively. The city's position as the central point of the Cold War is examined, focusing on the partition, and eventual reunion, of East and West.
