In 1990, with the fall of the Iron Curtain, a country, East Germany, simply ceased to exist. For over forty years, the GDR presented a radically different German identity. Socialist solidarity, secret police, central planning, barbed wire: it was another Germany, born at the geopolitical intersection of ideology and history. From the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 to the relative prosperity of the 1980s, Hoyer presents the rich political, social, and cultural landscape that emerged in former East Germany amidst political repression, steering clear of naive Cold War portrayals. Through a wide range of previously unpublished sources and interviews, Hoyer weaves together the captivating story of that other Germany, which lay beyond the Wall.
