This book offers a new account of the East German Revolution of
1989 and uncovers hitherto neglected events and phases of this
tumultuous period. It draws upon published and unpublished primary
sources, including twenty-five interviews with oppositionists,
movement participants and state officials, as well as archive
materials from the Stasi, police, SED and civic groups. It brings
to prominence previously unexplored events, including the 'battle
of Dresden station,' the 'December uprising' and the strike wave of
January 1990. In addition, as a resident of East Germany in the
late 1980s and an active participant in the civic groups and street
protests of 1989, Gareth Dale succeeds in bringing an immediacy and
vividness to the narrative. This is the most comprehensive account
in English of East Germany's 'peaceful' revolution. As a piece of
sustained original research, this book will be an indispensable
reference for historians of Germany and Eastern Europe. As an
accessible narrative history, written in a fluent style and with an
eye for the telling anecdote, it is keyed to the needs of students
and lay readers. -- .
