{"product_id":"books-the-berlin-wall-by-frederick-taylor","title":"The Berlin Wall","description":"The astonishing drama of Cold War nuclear poker that divided humanity - reissued with a new Postscript to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the fall of the wall.  During the night of 12–13 August 1961, a barbed-wire entanglement was hastily constructed through the heart of Berlin. It metamorphosed into a structure that would come to symbolise the insanity of the Cold War: the Berlin Wall. Frederick Taylor tells the story of the post-war political conflict that led to a divided Berlin and unleashed an East–West crisis, which lasted until the very people the Wall had been built to imprison breached it on 9 November 1989.  Weaving together history, original archive research and personal stories, The Berlin Wall, now published in fifteen languages, is the definitive account of a divided city and its people in a time when humanity seemed to stand permanently on the edge of destruction.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53672125137169,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781526614278.jpg?v=1781518473","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-the-berlin-wall-by-frederick-taylor","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
