The East German Leadership and the Division of Germany by Dirk Spilker
This is the most detailed and up-to-date study of the division of Germany after the Second World War. Drawing on a wealth of unpublished documents, Dirk Spilker reveals the political realities of the situation in post-war Germany, and reassesses the motivations and actions of the Western Allies and the Soviet bloc as they manoeuvred to achieve their ends.
..cogent and persuasive...Specialists will find the book stimulating...But the book's vigorous argument, and direct, unpretentious prose will also make it accessible to a wider audience interested in the early phases of the Cold War. * Gareth Pritchard The English Historical Review *
Spilker often breaks new gorund...a well structured and readable study... * Dierk Hoffmann Bulletin German Historical Institute *
