Tag: The Collapse: The Accidental Opening of the Berlin Wall

Book of the Week: ‘The Collapse: The Accidental Opening of the Berlin Wall.’

I picked up The Collapse: The Accidental Opening of the Berlin Wall a while back, but didn’t get to it really until recently. It’s fascinating reading. It’s also oddly difficult to find right now, which doesn’t make much sense; they only released it two years ago.  Anyway: good book that strives to give you an idea about how the East German regime managed to drop itself on a stone floor and shatter into a million tiny pieces in what seemed like months.  Check it out.

And so, adieu to Angels of Music.

I saw The Collapse: The Accidental Opening of the Berlin Wall mentioned somewhere a few days back, and I realized: by God but I am ready to read a book on how the Wall fell.  It’s been long enough that you can hope to get a reasonably objective view of what happened, but soon enough that enough of the people involved are likely still alive and able to answer questions. Although I suspect that many of them don’t know the answer, either.

Anyway, I’ll let you know how it goes.
