The fall of the Berlin Wall sent shock waves around the world. It
was, quite literally, a world-changing event. Now, more than two
decades after the Wall's collapse, this book brings together
leading authorities who offer a fresh look at how leaders in four
vital centers of world politics--the United States, the Soviet
Union, Europe, and China--viewed the world in the aftermath of this
momentous event. Jeffrey Engel contributes a chronological
narrative of this tumultuous period, followed by substantive essays
by Melvyn Leffler on the United States, Chen Jian on China, James
Sheehan on Germany and Europe, and William Taubman and Svetlana
Savranskaya on the Soviet Union. These historians reinterpret the
meaning of 1989 in the context of global history in the late 20th
and early 21st century and explore such questions as why communism
failed in Europe, why China took a different route following the
turmoil of Tiananmen Square, and why the peace of 1989 might well
prove illusory.
