This is the most detailed and up-to-date study of the division of Germany after the Second World War. Drawing on a wealth of unpublished documents, Dirk Spilker reveals the political realities of the situation in post-war Germany, and reassesses the motivations and actions of the Western Allies and the Soviet bloc as they manoeuvred to achieve their ends.


Dirk Spilker took degrees at the Universities of Cologne, Cambridge, and Oxford, and is now a management consultant in his native Germany.
