Berlin by David Clay Large
More than most modern cities, Berlin has had to reinvent itself, drastically and with startling frequency. It has changed from the cold, harsh capital of Prussia to the arrogant "world city" of the German Empire; from the depraved Babylon of the Weimar Republic to the last bastion of Nazism; from the "Siamese city" of the Cold War to the new high-tech capital of a united Germany. David Clay Large's "Berlin" seeks to recreate this extraordinary diversity and vigour - both the built fabric (its buildings, districts, monuments and streets) and the wealth of astonishing personalities who have loved or hated, created or destroyed this terrifying, exhilarating metropolis.
David Clay Large is Professor of History at Montana State University. He is one of the world's leading experts on 20th century Germany. Among his books are Between Two Fires: Europe's Path in the 1930s and the acclaimed Where Ghosts Walked: Munich's Road to the Third Reich.
