*Includes pictures *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading "From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an 'Iron Curtain' has descended across the continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central Europe and Eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia; all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject, in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and in some cases increasing measure of control from Moscow." - Winston Churchill, 1946 In the wake of World War II, the European continent was devastated, and the conflict left the Soviet Union and the United States as uncontested superpowers. This ushered in over 45 years of the Cold War, and a political alignment of Western democracies against the Communist Soviet bloc that produced conflicts pitting allies on each sides fighting, even as the American and Soviet militaries never engaged each other. Though it never got "hot," the Cold War was a tense era until the dissolution of the USSR, and nothing symbolized the split more than the Berlin Wall, which literally divided the city. Berlin had been a flashpoint even before World War II ended, and the city was occupied by the different Allies even as the close of the war turned them into adversaries. After the Soviets' blockade of West Berlin was prevented by the Berlin Airlift, the Eastern Bloc and the Western powers continued to control different sections of the city, and by the 1960s, East Germany was pushing for a solution to the problem of an enclave of freedom within its borders. West Berlin was a haven for highly-educated East Germans who wanted freedom and a better life in the West, and this "brain drain" was threatening the survival of the East German economy. The history of East Germany was a remarkable one, from its chaotic origins through its ossification as a Stalinist regime, until the country collapsed along with the Berlin Wall. Conversely, West Germany became one of the most stable and prosperous states in Europe during the Cold War. In many ways, the legacy of the split is still around today. The West Germans honestly confronted its brutal past and competently absorbed the far poorer Soviet satellite East Germany upon the reunification of Germany in 1990. This, of course, was not at all certain or obvious when the Allies beat back the Nazis at the end of the war in 1945, but far from making the same mistakes the Allied Powers made after World War I, the Allies opted to mold West Germany as a liberal, democratic state that would achieve prosperity and renounce war. With that said, Germany is still marked by the division, and in some respects, the old frontier still represents different expectations, social conditions, and worldviews. Germany and the Cold War: The History and Legacy of the Divide between East Germany and West Germany examines how the country was split, and how both countries marked the epicenter of the Cold War in the wake of World War II. Along with pictures and a bibliography, you will learn about Germany during the Cold War like never before.

Germanys complex past is riddled with both stunning triumphs and staggering failures. Once little more than a federation of tribes, over the course of its history, it formed various alliances, some of which were broken while others survived and allowed Germany to become a significant power in Europe and the world. And although a sense of German national identity was centuries in the making, folk traditions, regional culture, and a robust intellectual tradition have endured throughout the ages and produced world-famous musicians, artists, and writers. Still, Germanys roles in both World Wars remains a significantand appallingpart of its history. This all-encompassing volume profiles Germany from antiquity to the present day, examining its layered past, including its transition from a world power to a divided state and the major economic strides it has made since unification.

The Second World War left Europe divided between the West, controlled by NATO forces, and the East controlled by Russian forces. A giant fence or wall was erected, running all the way from the Baltic to the Adriatic, to ensure no one left or entered the eastern Bloc without permission. The effects felt in Germany were colossal. On the West Side of the wall people became part of the FRD, able to have all the freedom and opportunities one associates with the Western World. But those on the East were kept in the Dark Ages, controlled by a government that conspired to keep its people imprisoned against their will. Whilst covering all the important historical facts of this infamous division, it is actually Antrack's ability to illuminate the human aspect so vividly that makes this, his latest work, such a compelling read. Born in East Germany, the author's own family is torn asunder after the war. Some live in Bavaria in West Germany, while others are trapped in East Germany. He however manages to settle in the UK with his English wife. A great believer in democracy, he takes every opportunity to work hard and succeed, but his thoughts are never far away from his unfortunate relations. So he begins a quest to see his German family once again. A quest that takes him on a series of driving excursions through Europe, where, with great difficulty and danger, he gains entry through various checkpoints along the East-West divide - leading him into the eastern Bloc countries. This frank and sometimes funny tale shows us much of the author's indomitable spirit as he turns intrepid explorer, searching out his lost childhood dreams within the Eastern Bloc, and trying to grasp exactly how far-reachingthe effects of the Iron Curtain really are. Yet behind these jovial personal recollections lies the grim reality of families ripped apart and countries crushed by the ravages of war, reminding one of the true costs of military conflict.
