After World War II Berlin became one of the playgrounds of the Cold
War; the Berlin Wall made the division between East and West,
between 'capitalism' and 'communism' in 1961 highly visible, though
it did remove Berlin from front-line politics. East and West Berlin
had turned into shop-windows of ideologies - West Berlin
representing the lure of a market economy, East Berlin the promise
of socialism. It is, then, fitting that the fall of the Wall in
1989 awarded Berlin such a prominent role. It was here that the
development after Reunification of East and West became a closely
observed event - and, well beyond Germany, Berlin appeared to
represent fundamental developments throughout Europe at the time.
Today, Berlin is the capital of reunified Germany and therefore one
of the key political players in the European Union (EU) and it's
now a desirable destination for young entrepreneurs. The Historical
Dictionary of Berlin contains a chronology, an introduction, and an
extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 300
cross-referenced entries on important personalities, places,
institutions, and events. This book is an excellent resource for
students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about
Berlin.
