Description

Explore the complex history of the German Democratic Republic with this scholarly work from Oxford University Press. Founded on the ruins of the Third Reich, the GDR emerged as the most stable and successful state within the Soviet bloc, yet it collapsed with sudden speed during the gentle revolution of 1989. Mary Fulbrook utilizes the opening of East German archives to provide a deep look inside this once impregnable dictatorship. This book examines the structures of power and patterns of popular opinion that defined the nation from 1949 to 1989. It offers a compelling interpretation of how a state characterized by long-term political stability could face such a rapid and startling implosion.
