Focusing on the historical context of the Berlin Wall, this groundbreaking book reveals the lesser-known dynamics behind its construction in 1961. Utilizing unique archival materials from East German and Soviet sources, the author presents a compelling argument that it was East Germany, rather than the Soviets, that drove the decision to erect the Wall. This fresh perspective challenges conventional narratives of the Cold War and highlights the complexities of the relationship between these two regimes.
