Description
The tumultuous events of 1989 marked a turning point in world history. But the events which led to the destruction of the Berlin Wall and signalled the death of communism need to be understood in terms of the time, space, and ideology of the period. David Mason's fascinating book provides a concise synthesis of history, politics, economics, sociology, literature, philosophy, and culture, showing how all these elements combined to result in the year that promised to launch the new century on a hopeful note.
