What is Constructing socialism at the grass-roots : the transformation of East Germany, 1945-65 about?

<p>Fascinated with the former German Democratic Republic since his first visit there in 1991, the author fills in scholarly lacunae in the GDR's sociopolitical transformation under the Communists in the first two post-war decades by studying the history of the East German Socialist Unity Party and the popular perception and implementation of its policiesrather than the typical polemics over totalitarian and top-down models. Ross (modern history, U. of Birmingham) discusses laying the foundations for socialism after the war with land form and factory recasting; mobilizing youth in the early 1950s; setbacks and new offenses from 1953-61; and the grass-roots effects of the Berlin Wall and 1960s social change.
