4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting description of former border dividing Germany, May 13, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Along the edge of the forest: An Iron Curtain journey (Hardcover)
The author traveled along the fortified border that used to divide East and Western Europe. The most detailed descriptions are those of the separation of Germany including Berlin. There are several conversations and trips with border patrol officials. There are no photographs.

walking along the Iron Curtain, October 3, 2011
This review is from: Along the edge of the forest: An Iron Curtain journey (Hardcover)
If you don't know or just need to be reminded that the Iron Curtain was real, Along the Edge of Forest: an Iron Curtain Journey, will be a real eye opener. I've had my copy since 1983 when the book was published--at the height of the Cold War. The Berlin wall was an obscenity and the demarcation line, "From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic", was a disgrace to the human race. This book was terrific in its day, and now, with the wall and the rest of Iron Curtain gone, it remains valuable as a documentation of the already unbelievable.
