This book explains how and why Berlin became the symbolic capital
of the Cold War. It brings the history of the Cold War down to
earth by focusing on the messy accounts of daily struggles to
survive rather than seamless narratives of diplomatic exchange. By
following Berliners as they made their way from ration offices to
the black markets, from allied occupation bureaus to the physical
and symbolic battles for the city's streets and squares, Paul
Steege anchors his account of this emerging global conflict in the
fractured terrain of a city literally shattered by World War II. In
this history of everyday life, he claims for Berliners a vital role
in making possible Berlin's iconic Cold War status. The world saw
an absolutely divided city, but everyday Berliners crossed its many
boundaries, and these transgressive practices brought into focus
the stark oppositions of the Cold War.
