The Berlin Wall separated the city of Berlin into two political entities from 13th August 1961 to 9th November 1989. Soldiers served, spies watched through trained binoculars, politicians made speeches. During the Wall's almost three decades of existence over two hundred people died trying to escape through it to the West-- and these are just the recorded deaths. MacGregor tells of the men and women-- from both sides of the Wall-- who lived, served on, or escaped during its lifespan. -- adapted from publisher info
