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. \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eBeyond the Wall\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. ","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44895396692197,"sku":"NP9781541606364","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/90fc2b7e-347e-4f13-b9b2-b12901814f98.jpg?v=1767835430","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/beyond-the-wall-isbn-9781541606364","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
