A fascinating and informative history of the German Democratic Republic (GDR, or "East Germany"), which juxtaposes personal anecdotes and recollections from everyday East German citizens, with broader political and historical narratives, and does so with great skill and deft analysis. One of the best books on recent (Cold War-era) history that I've read in recent years. Highly recommended.
