It metamorphosed into a structure that would come to symbolise the insanity of the Cold War: the Berlin Wall. Frederick Taylor tells the story of the post-war political conflict that led to a divided Berlin and unleashed an East–West crisis, which lasted until the very people the Wall had been built to imprison breached it on 9 November 1989.\nWeaving together history, original archive research and personal stories, The Berlin Wall, now published in fifteen languages, is the definitive account of a divided city and its people in a time when humanity seemed to stand permanently on the edge of destruction.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51495375733024,"sku":"9781526614278","price":12.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781526614278.jpg?v=1780957245","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-berlin-wall-frederick-taylor-9781526614278","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
