The Ghosts of Berlin: images of a divided City
This is a photographic study that captures the City immediately prior and after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The photos were compiled between 1989 and 1999. It reflects on both Berlin's Nazi and Soviet past as well as the new modern Berlin. It already acts as a useful Then and Now of this most interesting City.

Excellent Berlin Photo Book.
I've always been fascinated by the incredible changes that Berlin has experienced especially on the latter half of the 20th century.

This book was recommended to me by a friend and the images do not disappoint - so much so I've also bought the authors other book "Pillboxes - Images of an Unfought Battle".

This photo book shows some remarkable images of some locations I'd never heard of and how the city changed so very quickly after 1989. Very Recommended!

Well below my expectations
I bought this book by looking at the nice cover. Too bad the pics in the book aren't that spectacular.
All of them black and white, which would have been fine if they were printed in high definition on fine
paper. That's not the case. Most of them seem greyish and dark ( yeah I know.... Berlin in 80's probably was like that...) So I am disapointed....
