In 1990, a country disappeared. For the previous forty-one years, East Germany had existed in Western minds as more of a metaphor than a place, more of a grey communist blur than a land of real people with friends and families, workplaces and homes. As Germany once again became a single state, the history of the GDR was simplified and politicised. It was nothing but Stasi spies and central planning, nothing but a wall in Berlin. In Beyond the Wall, acclaimed historian Katja Hoyer looks past these outdated conceptions and toward a more comprehensive history.

A fascinating look into East Germany
Revisado: 04-26-23
I found the book to be a really interesting look into East Germany, a country which I only knew about at a very surface level. The way the author took the experiences and accounts of East Germans of all kinds and wove them into the book was a great way of contextualising events and had the added effect of making the book very engaging to listen to.
The narration is also excellent and never once distracted me from the book.
