In autumn 1989 the world watched transfixed as East German
citizens, demonstrating under the banner 'We are the people!',
staged the only successful, totally peaceful revolution in German
history. By October 1990, the process of reunification was formally
concluded, bringing together a nation that had been divided for
almost four decades. Now, nearly twenty years later, it is possible
to judge the causes and consequences of the revolution more
clearly. Was the fall of the Berlin Wall an unexpected fluke, or
was it, in fact, the result of a long process of engagement between
East and West? And did the momentous events of 1989 really signal
the start of a bright new future for a united Germany? In this
probing and wide-ranging account, Lothar Kettenacker considers the
background behind the division of Germany and explains how the
Berlin Wall and its death trap border proved to be the most
horrendous manifestation of East-West antagonism. He also looks
beyond 1990 to show how the confusion caused by the sudden collapse
of the GDR and the fusion of two radically different economies is
proving to be a challenge that will preoccupy Germany for
generations to come.
