The Berlin Wall: A Very Brief History
by Mark Black
Want to learn more about history, but don’t think you have the time? Think again.
The Berlin Wall was the dividing line between the East and West, as well as between communism and democracy. Constructed overnight in 1961, it divided families and prevented East Germans from reaching the West for 28 years. When the Wall finally came down in 1989, and the border was opened, it was the trigger for celebration in both the East and the West.
These celebrations were quickly followed by political argument, as the World’s leaders debated how best to reunite Germany; reunification would lead to social and economic upheaval, but the Wall has now at least passed into history, with only small sections remaining to remind tourists and other visitors of the barrier that once divided a city and a nation.

Each book provides the reader with the essential facts concerning a particular event or person; no distractions, just the essential facts, allowing the reader to master the subject in the shortest time possible.
