"The fall of the Berlin Wall, and the chain of events leading up to it, arguably constitute
one of the most thoroughly documented episodes in recent history. Nonetheless, most
accounts have focused predominantly on high-level politics and diplomacy along with
the most dramatic and photogenic public displays. End Game, a rich, sweeping account
of the autumn of 1989 as it was experienced "on the ground" in the German Democratic
Republic, powerfully depicting the desolation and dysfunction that shaped everyday
life for so many East Germans in the face of economic disruption and political impotence.
Citizens' frustration mounted until it bubbled over in the form of massive demonstrations
and other forms of protest. Following the story up to the first free elections in
March 1990, the volume combines abundant detail with sharp analysis and helps us to
see this familiar historical moment through new eyes"
