"Richardson-Little exposes the forgotten history of human rights in the German Democratic
Republic, placing the history of the Cold War, Eastern European dissidents and the
revolutions of 1989 in a new light. By demonstrating how even a communist dictatorship
could imagine itself to be a champion of human rights, this book challenges popular
narratives on the fall of the Berlin Wall and illustrates how notions of human rights
evolved in the Cold War as they were re-imagined in East Germany by both dissidents
and state officials. Ultimately, the fight for human rights in East Germany was part
of a global battle in the post-war era over competing conceptions of what human rights
meant. Nonetheless, the collapse of dictatorship in East Germany did not end this
conflict, as citizens had to choose for themselves what kind of human rights would
follow in its wake"
