Overview

Being on the front lines necessitates a certain unadorned assessment of reality, where a spade is called a spade, sometimes even a bloody shovel. In short, these are not diplomats' stories.

In this book, Henrick Bering weaves together soldiers' stories, capturing voices from the front lines of the Cold War. He retells key moments of Berlin's postwar history as seen through the eyes of those who served there.

Anyone who has ever pulled guard duty at Spandau, flown in the Airlift, or flirted in a cafe on the Kurfuerstendamm will find this book a must read.
