Description: "For forty-five years Europe was divided, and at the center of that divided continent lay a divided Germany. Throughout that time West German politicians were trying to reunite their sundered country, even as they performed an intricate diplomatic minuet with their European -- and, particularly, their American -- allies and East Germany's Soviet sponsors." "In this brilliantly nuanced book, one of our most respected authorities on Central Europe tells the story of German reunification. Drawing on sources that range from the files of East Germany's secret police to the personal papers of West German leaders -- and on interviews with such figures as Helmut Kohl, Eduard Shevardnadze, and the imprisoned Erich Honecker -- Garton Ash has produced a panoramic, dramatic, and definitive account of events that are continuing to transform the map of Europe.
