Book Summary:
Kristina Spohr’s Post Wall, Post Square offers a sweeping reinterpretation of the global transformation that followed the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Drawing on newly declassified archives from the U.S., Soviet Union, UK, France and beyond, Spohr argues that the peaceful end of the Cold War was the result not of cataclysmic conflict, but of thoughtful, cooperative diplomacy between leaders like George H. W. Bush, Mikhail Gorbachev, Margaret Thatcher, Helmut Kohl, and François Mitterrand. Simultaneously, she contextualizes these events with developments in Asia—most notably the brutal crackdown in Tiananmen Square—demonstrating how different political systems forged divergent paths after 1989. By tracing the interplay of grassroots movements and high-level negotiations, Spohr shows how the modern world—with its enlarged EU, expanded NATO, and increasingly assertive global powers like Russia, China, and the U.S.—was implicitly built during 1989–1992.
