Shock waves from the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 continue to pulse through German society. As the difficult process of reunification continues, it is worth recalling the revolutionary moment when immense crowds took to the streets of Leipzig and Berlin under the banner âWe Are the Peopleâ and brought down one of the worldâs most oppressive dictatorships. Robert Darntonâs eyewitness account of those historic days âis direct and vivid. His prose conveys the immediacy of the drama.â He gives us a memorable cast of characters, from two experts on the repair of broken-down Trabis to the environmental councilor for the polluted city of Bitterfeld, and Isaak Behar, a Jew who managed to survive the Holocaust while hiding in wartime Berlin. With wit and insight Darnton takes us behind the scenes to meet âordinary people grappling with great change, humanizing history.â
