- This book challenges existing accounts by providing a perpetrator’s eye view of the cold war, as waged by ordinary people at the grassroots, on an everyday basis. To achieve this, the research drew on a wide range of archival sources in Berlin, Washington, London and Paris, accessed and analysed over a fifteen year period. It was supported by a British Academy Small Grant and a fellowship at the Library of Congress. Each of the ten chapters examines in detail a hitherto underexplored element of the cold war in Berlin, from soft-power cultural competition, through smuggling, to kidnapping.
