Shock waves from the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989
continue to pulse through German society. As the difficult process
of reunification continues, it is worth recalling the revolutionary
moment when immense crowds took to the streets of Leipzig and
Berlin under the banner "We Are the People" and brought down one of
the world's most oppressive dictatorships. Robert Darnton's
eyewitness account of those historic days "is direct and vivid. His
prose conveys the immediacy of the drama." He gives us a memorable
cast of characters, from two experts on the repair of broken-down
Trabis to the environmental councilor for the polluted city of
Bitterfeld, and Isaak Behar, a Jew who managed to survive the
Holocaust while hiding in wartime Berlin. With wit and insight
Darnton takes us behind the scenes to meet "ordinary people
grappling with great change, humanizing history."
