Reviews
"A refreshing and eye-opening book on a country that is routinely reduced to cartoonish cliché. Beyond the Wall is a tribute to the ordinary East Germans who built themselves a society that--for a time--worked for them, a society carved out of a state founded in the horrors of Nazism and Stalinism." -- Owen Hatherley, author of Landscapes of Communism

Synopsis
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.
