The GDR: A History of the "Arbeiter- und Bauernstaat"

Nearly bought this book whilst in Germany , English version some 18 Euros ! Glad I waited till I came back; got it for a fraction of the price !Well written in easy readable style.

Interesting but fairly brief

A refreshing insight which kicks back against the accepted narrative. We can't always be on the right side of history so it's nice to have a bit of balance. Well worth a read.
