<p>Reliving the momentous events in the German capital’s history, this volume contends that no other city has changed its face so rapidly in the past century as Berlin. The pre–World War I era is covered before moving onto the 1930s megalomania of Hitler and the overwhelming damage of World War II. Chronicling the city’s rebirth, the study depicts its exhaustive reconstruction along with the constitution of the Berlin Wall. The city center’s evolution from the 18th to the 21st centuries is also detailed, comparing historical material with current photographs. This bilingual edition includes English and German.</p>
