This important new overview of the German Democratic Republic
focuses on the country's search for identity and legitimacy
throughout its history. Dr. Henry Krisch analyzes major aspects of
East German life-political, economic, cultural, and societal-to
answer the fundamental question of the nature of the GDR. Arguing
that East Germany has been shaped by history to an unusual degree,
he explores the country's historical background, including the
Soviet Zone, the origins of the GDR, and the leadership of Ulbricht
and Honecker, and examines the role and structure of the party,
state, and military and security forces. The main emphasis of this
book, however, is upon current problems and on likely responses to
them in the near future. Issues such as the viability of communist
politics in a technologically advanced society, the relationship of
the GDR to a common German heritage and a competing West German
state, and the country's role within the Soviet alliance system are
examined in detail, and current social concerns, including the
peace movement, cultural trends, the role of women and youth, and
the prime importance of sports, are discussed.
