The Berlin Wall was the symbol of the Cold War. For the first time, this path-breaking book tells the behind-the-scenes story of the communists' decision to build the Wall in 1961. Hope Harrison's use of archival sources from the former East German and Soviet regimes is unrivalled, and from these sources she builds a highly original and provocative argument: the East Germans pushed the reluctant Soviets into building the Berlin Wall.This fascinating work portrays the different approaches favored by the East Germans and the Soviets to stop the exodus of refugees to West Germany. In the wake of Stalin's death in 1953, the Soviets refused the East German request to close their border to West Berlin. The Kremlin rulers told the hard-line East German leaders to solve their refugee problem not by closing the border, but by alleviating their domestic and foreign problems. The book describes how, over the next seven years, the East German regime managed to resist Soviet pressures for liberalization and instead pressured the Soviets into allowing them to build the Berlin Wall. Driving the Soviets Up the Wall forces us to view this critical juncture in the Cold War in a different light. Harrison's work makes us rethink the nature of relations between countries of the Soviet bloc even at the height of the Cold War, while also contributing to ongoing debates over the capacity of weaker states to influence their stronger allies.Driving the Soviets up the Wall Soviet Driving the Soviets up the Wall Soviet Soviet Driving the Soviets Up the Wall Soviet East German Princeton Studies in International History German relations between 1953 and 1961 Driving the Driving the Soviets up the Wall Soviet PRINCETON STUDIES IN INTERNATIONAL HISTORY AND POLITICS Recent Titles Driving the Soviets up the Wall Soviet East German Relations 1953 1961 by Hope M Driving the Soviets up the Wall Soviet Driving the Soviets Up the Wall Soviet Driving the Soviets Up the Wall forces us to up the Wall Soviet Driving the Soviets Up the Wall A Companion to International History Driving the Soviets Up the Wall Soviet Driving the Soviets Up the Wall by Hope M Harrison Soviet Sample Chapter for Driving the Soviets up the Wall Soviet Driving the Soviets Up the Wall Soviet East German Relations Princeton Studies in International History Soviet East German Relations 1953 1961 The Driving the Soviets up the Wall Soviet Driving the Soviets up the wall Soviet Driving the Soviets up the Wall Soviet Driving the Soviets Up the Wall has 17 Start by marking Driving the Soviets Up the Wall Soviet Driving the Soviets up the wall Soviet Driving the Soviets up the Wall Soviet Read Driving the Soviets up the Wall Soviet Driving the Soviets up the wall Soviet Driving the Soviets up the wall Soviet Driving the Soviets up the Wall Soviet Driving the Soviets up the Wall Soviet ONLINE BOOK Driving the Soviets up the Wall Soviet Soviets up the Wall Soviet READ ONLINE Driving the Soviets up the Wall Soviet Kobo Driving the Soviets up the Wall Soviet Driving the Soviets Up the Wall Soviet Free Download Driving the Soviets up the Wall: Soviet-East German Relations, 1953-1961 (Princeton Studies in International History and Politics) di eBook PDF.
