{"product_id":"the-east-german-revolution-of-1989-9780719074783","title":"The East German Revolution of 1989","description":"This book offers a new account of the East German Revolution of 1989 and uncovers hitherto neglected events and phases of this tumultuous period. It draws upon published and unpublished primary sources, including twenty-five interviews with oppositionists, movement participants and state\u003cbr\u003eofficials, as well as archive materials from the Stasi, police, SED and civic groups. It brings to prominence previously unexplored events, including the 'battle of Dresden station, ' the 'December uprising' and the strike wave of January 1990. In addition, as a resident of East Germany in the late\u003cbr\u003e1980s and an active participant in the civic groups and street protests of 1989, Gareth Dale succeeds in bringing an immediacy and vividness to the narrative. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the most comprehensive account in English of East Germany's 'peaceful' revolution. As a piece of sustained original research, this book will be an indispensable reference for historians of Germany and Eastern Europe. As an accessible narrative history, written in a fluent style and with an\u003cbr\u003eeye for the telling anecdote, it is keyed to the needs of students and lay readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gareth Dale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.17h x 6.29w x 0.83d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719074783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGareth Dale is Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at Brunel University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40104774205555,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_a680ea59-5bdf-43dc-ac6d-8d7c60de7051.jpg?v=1653230004","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-east-german-revolution-of-1989-9780719074783","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
