ARGONAUT BOOKS

Maxim Leo was in his late teens when the Berlin Wall came down. In this book, he tells the story of his family, which was very much like the German Democratic Republic in miniature. In it was concentrated much that was once important in this country: the hope and faith of the founding fathers; their children's disappointment and refusal simply to share the Socialist dream; and their grandchildren's relief, when it was all finally over.
