Historic Berlin,
By Daddio "Ed K." (Fayetteville, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Historic Berlin (Hardcover)
I wanted to see what the city of Berlin, Germany looked like during the years spanning the formation of the German Empire (1871) and World War II. This book does the job. The author provides excellent b/w photographs of many of the legendary Berlin buildings/parks/plazas/monuments from this time frame. His descriptions of each historic Berlin site are concise and well written. The author also included comments about the amount of destruction most of the historic sites received during World War II and comments on whether or not these sites have been rebuilt or demolished since then. The only negative which I find is the book does not include a map of Berlin so the reader can immediately identify the location(s) of the historic site(s). All in all the book is well worth reading.
