A gripping reconstruction of the daring escape to freedom of
hundreds of East Germans in the summer of 1989 - and how it led to

William BoydIn August 1989, a group of activists did the
unthinkable: they entered the forbidden militarised zone of the
Iron Curtain - and held a picnic. On wisps of rumour, thousands of
East German 'holiday-makers' had made their way to the border,
surveilled by lurking Stasi agents.The stage was set for the
greatest border breach in Cold War history. The fall of the Berlin
Wall, the end of the Soviet Union - the so-called end of history -
all would flow from what happened next. Drawing on dozens of
original interviews with those involved, Matthew Longo reconstructs
this world-shaping event and its tumultuous aftermath.‘Revelatory .
