With The Opening Of The East German Archives, It Is At Last Possible To Look Inside The Apparently Impregnable Dictatorship. Mary Fulbrook Provides A Compelling Interpretation Of Structures Of Power And Patterns Of Popular Opinion Within The Gdr. This Absorbing Study Explores The Ways In Which The Tentacles Of The All-pervading State Captured East German Society In The Grip Of Stasi, Party, And Mass Organizations, And Analyses The Emergence In The 1980s Of Oppositional Cultures Under The Ambivalent Shelter Of A Protestant Church Which Had Come To Terms With The Communist State. Mary Fulbrook. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
