Within days the barbed-wire entanglement would undergo an extraordinary metamorphosis: it became an imposing 103-mile-long wall guarded by three hundred watchtowers. A physical manifestation of the struggle between Soviet Communism and American capitalism that stood for nearly thirty years, the Berlin Wall was the high-risk fault line between East and West on which rested the fate of all humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the definitive history on the subject, Frederick Taylor weaves together official history, archival materials, and personal accounts to tell the complete story of the Wall's rise and fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Berlin Wall | Frederick Taylor | Paperback | 9780060786144 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks E 1766238","offer_id":49376805191832,"sku":"1766238","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71L3mh4_e3L.jpg?v=1783019497","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/berlin-wall","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
