It was an accident. A carelessly worded memo written by mid-level bureaucrats, a bumbling press conference given by an inept member of the East German Politburo, the negligence of government leaders, the bravery of ordinary people in East and West Berlin--these combined to bring about the end of nearly forty years of oppression, fear, and enmity in divided Berlin. Drawing on evidence from archives in multiple countries and languages, along with dozens of interviews with key actors, The Collapse is the definitive account of the event that brought down the East German Politburo and came to represent the final collapse of the Cold War order"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 943.0878 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 943.0878 Sarotte Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 943.0878 Sarotte Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 943.0878 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 943.0878 Sarotte Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 943.0878 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
