Reviews

"This rich and fascinating collection of essays treats the story of Cold War Berlin with the complexity that it deserves. The authors position Berlin as a crucial site of German, European, and transatlantic history from the end of World War II to the Russo-Ukrainian War. -- Adam R. Seipp, Texas A&M University This volume’s intriguing essays convincingly demonstrate Berlin’s lasting place in the transatlantic world―as a strategic asset and political battleground no less than a symbolic site where contesting visions of Germany’s past and future become tangible. Their insights matter today as a new cold war threatens to redivide Europe, reminding readers of the complications inherent in any attempt to reconcile American and Russian interests in the ""old continent"" with those of the diverse nation-states it hosts. -- Andreas W. Daum, University at Buffalo, SUNY"
