The Fall of the Berlin Wall (At Issue in History)

From August 13, 1961 until November 9, 1989, East and West Berlin were separated by a heavily guarded wall of concrete and barbed wire. The Berlin Wall stood as a symbol of the Cold War between communist-controlled Eastern European nations and democratic Western Allies. This book debates the circumstances under which the Berlin Wall was constructed and details its fall 28 years later.Cindy Mur is the author of 'The Fall of the Berlin Wall (At Issue in History)', published 2003 under ISBN 9780737713510 and ISBN 0737713518.
