Napoleon stole Berlin's Quadriga, and 130 years later it returned draped in a Soviet flag. Between those two moments lies the history of a city that was burned, divided, walled in and rebuilt more often than any other in Europe. This book traces Berlin from its origins as a Slavic fort on the Spree through Prussia's rise, Napoleon's occupation, the failed revolution of 1848, the frenzy of the Weimar Republic, the Nazi seizure of power, Soviet artillery leveling entire neighborhoods, and the Cold War decades when a concrete wall turned neighbors into strangers and the Stasi filled 111 miles of shelving with files on ordinary citizens. Nothing has been softened.
"Every chapter felt immediate. The sections on the Stasi files and the hidden prison at Hohenschönhausen were especially powerful. If you want to understand why Berlin is the way it is, start here." Prof. Klaus Weber
Berlin's story is Europe's open wound. This book walks you through every era that left a scar on the city, from Prussian militarism to Soviet occupation to the surveillance state that turned families against each other.
