This book offers a unique insight into the processes that brought about perestroika and the demise of Eastern Europe's experiment with socialism. It is a fascinating and essential read for all those wishing to understand the processes from the viewpoint of an intelligent insider and perceptive observer.

Mikhail Gorbachev and his policy of perestroika not only brought about the transformation of the Soviet Union and the Eastern bloc, but the constellation of world relationships. At the centre of those profound changes that shook Europe was a divided Germany.

After the Wall was opened in 1989, the author, Hans Modrow, became the GDR's last prime minister, before elections were held and the country chose to unite with the Federal Republic by a process of annexation.

First published in Britain in 2014 by Marx Memorial Library in collaboration with Artery Publications.
