Politics and popular opinion in East Germany 1945 - 68

Meer over het boek

This groundbreaking work examines East Germany's postwar development from the defeat of Nazism to the stabilization of a new socialist by 1968. Using a wide range of often previously unexamined contemporary documents, the book investigates how ordinary East Germans experienced this extraordinary political and social upheaval, and how central policy decisions were translated into the reality of everyday life in the provinces.
