"In The Collapse historian Mary Elise Sarotte shows that the opening of the Berlin Wall on
November 9, 1989, was not, as is commonly believed, the East German government's
deliberate concession to outside influence. It was an accident. A carelessly worded memo
written by mid-level bureaucrats, a bumbling press conference given by an inept member
of the East German Politburo, the negligence of government leaders, the bravery of ordinary people in East and West Berlin--these combined to bring about the end of nearly
forty years of oppression, fear, and enmity in divided Berlin. Drawing on evidence from
archives in multiple countries and languages, along with dozens of interviews with key
actors, The Collapse is the definitive account of the event that brought down the East
German Politburo and came to represent the final collapse of the Cold War order"--.
