Only with the 1989 destruction of the Wall and the subsequent Unification Treaty did Berlin begin to regain its cosmopolitan standing as one of the world’s great cities. With highlights that include then and now images of the Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Wall, and Checkpoint Charlie, one can experience the tumultuous events of the city’s modern history through archival and contemporary photography. This historical look at Berlin's ever-changing fortunes is a must-have for WWII history buffs, and offers a rare glimpse into the city's fascinating metamorphosis. | | | |

 An excellent book from an excellent series Aug 31, 2007
By Chris J
This book is a good size, and photos are given full priority on each page. It's kept nice and simple with old on the left, new on the right, and with just as much informed commentary as you'd need running along beneath.
Only a few of the 'then' pics are from the 50s and 60s; the majority show the Berlin streets as they were before the devastation of the Second World War, and as such are as fascinating as looking at pictures of ancient Rome.
An excellent book from an excellent series.

 Your Own Tour Guide Jul 21, 2008
By M. Miller
I purchased this book prior to spending a week in Berlin. I read through it on the train on the way to Berlin from Frankfurt and found that in contained great photography and solid background information on major landmarks. This book is not an in depth history of Berlin, but if you'd like to take a look at how things WERE compared to how they ARE and have the major sites explained in plain English, this book works well. It's a must have if you're traveling to the area, but makes a good coffee table book now as well.

Love this book on Berlin Jul 13, 2010
By Mary
I bought this book prior to visiting Germany. After my visit I enjoyed it even more as I could look through and remember the places that I visited and how breathtaking they were.
My trip was wonderful to Germany and this book is a favorite of mine now.

Berlin,then and now... Mar 02, 2008
By G. A. V. Menego
All I can say is awesome.I did a now and then tour of Berlin last year in October and I can only wish that I had the book with me then. There is nothing like knowing where you stand if you are a history buff on ww2 like I am. Going over to do the Bulge at the end of April. Berlin Then and Now is money well spent.

Beautiful Book! Feb 24, 2011
By Kermit H.
I have always wanted to visit Berlin...and now after purchasing this book, it's a must for me! I never get tired of looking at the architecture pre-WWII and post Cold War. It is thorough and fascinating. I highly recommend it!
