BERLIN is Europe’s most fascinating and exciting city. The great movements that have shaken Europe, from the Reformation to Marxism, have their origins in Berlin’s streets.
With its unique dialect, exceptional museums, experimental cultural scene, its liberated social life and its honest approach to its history, it is as challenging a city as it is absorbing. Too often Berlin is seen through the prism of Nazism and its role on the front line in the Cold War. Important, frightening and interesting as those periods are, its history starts much earlier.
Telling the story of its people and its rulers, from its medieval origins to the present day, this is a fascinating and informative history of an extraordinary city.
Educated at Eton College and the University of St Andrews, Barney White-Spunner was appointed Commanding Officer of the Household Cavalry in 1996 and became Chief of Joint Force Operations for the British contingent in the Middle East in 2003. He was made Commander of the British Field Army in 2009. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2002. This is his first book to be published in the United States.
