Reviews
"Hoyer's book is an erudite plea for empathy in grappling with the ongoing aftershocks of German reunification."-- Foreign Policy, "With Beyond the Wall , Katja Hoyer confirms her place as one of the best young historians writing in English today. On the heels of her superb Blood and Iron, about the rise and fall of the Second Reich, comes another masterpiece, this one about the aftermath of the Third Reich in the East. Well-researched, well-written, and profoundly insightful, it explodes many of the lazy Western cliches about East Germany."-- Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill, "[The GDR] was one of the strangest countries to have ever existed, a jewel box of contradictions...These contradictions are beautifully captured in Beyond the Wall ...Crafting an expansive and generous history of East Germany, Hoyer brings long-standing academic scholarship to a broader audience, explaining how the GDR evolved over its 40-year existence, the triumphs and travails of everyday life under state socialism, and why so many East Germans continue to pine for the country they have lost." -- New Republic

Synopsis
AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - From the ashes of the Second World War to the fall of the Berlin Wall, "an expansive and generous history" of East Germany ( New Republic ) In 1990, a country disappeared. When the Iron Curtain fell, East Germany ceased to be. For over forty years, from the ruin of the Second World War to the cusp of a new millennium, the German Democratic Republic presented a radically different Germany than what had come before and what exists today. Socialist solidarity, secret police, central planning, barbed wire: this was a Germany forged on the fault lines of ideology and geopolitics. In Beyond the Wall , acclaimed historian Katja Hoyer sets aside the usual Cold War caricatures of the GDR to offer a kaleidoscopic new vision of this vanished country, revealing the rich political, social, and cultural landscape that existed amid oppression and hardship. Drawing on a vast array of never-before-seen interviews and documents, this is the definitive history of the other Germany, beyond the Wall., AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER * From the ashes of the Second World War to the fall of the Berlin Wall, "an expansive and generous history" of East Germany ( New Republic ) In 1990, a country disappeared.
