This book is deeply moving because it is about freedom...The Writings on the Wall has done the impossible, giving the reader the uncanny feeling of actually being in Berlin as the historic event unrolled.

I was moved to tears. The juxtaposition of photographs and quotations told a magnificent story of the human spirit...The Writings on the Wall, in my view, is more than a book. It is a perpetual flame. It is a guiding myth, a story with a compelling cast of characters: citizens, soldiers, politicians, numberless and nameless artists and poets, mourners and celebrants. Like the rainbow in the story of Noah and the flood, the dismantling of the Berlin Wall is a promise and a reminder of Grace.
