Description:
Winner of the Orwell Prize 2024- the exhilarating story of the greatest border breach in Cold War history
A gripping reconstruction of the daring escape to freedom of hundreds of East Germans in the summer of 1989 and how it led to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
In August 1989, a group of Hungarian activists did the unthinkable- they entered the forbidden militarised zone of the Iron Curtain - and held a picnic. On wisps of rumour, thousands of East German 'holiday-makers' had made their way to the border, surveilled by lurking Stasi agents. The stage was set for the greatest border breach in Cold War history. The fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Soviet Union - the so-called end of history - all would flow from what happened next. Drawing on dozens of original interviews with those involved, Matthew Longo reconstructs this world-shaping event and its tumultuous aftermath.

Had to look hard to find it again
My husband loves this watch. This is his second one, and it was hard to find this one, exactly like the last one - which lasted for years. Good overall watch, easy to read, reliable.

POOR PACKAGING
Disappointed that the watch arrived only in plastic bag without bubble wrap envelope. The plastic box was broken and the paper box old , I bought it for my father as a gift, and I had to buy other box because it seemed like used. Good: it arrived on time.
The watch is really nice and functions well.
BE CAREFUL WITH PACKAGING!!!

Don't buy its a waste.
Very cheap watch. Sharp edges and adjustment of the band although easy to do, the parts are very flimsy. Don't wase your money.
