Krátky popis
In the summer of 1962, one year after the rise of the Berlin Wall,
a group of daring young West Germans risked prison, Stasi torture
and even death to liberate friends, lovers, and strangers in East
Berlin by digging tunnels under the Wall.Then, as the world’s press
heard about the secret projects, two television networks raced to
be the first to document them from the inside, funding two separate
tunnels for exclusive rights to film the escapes. In response,
President John F. Kennedy and his administration, wary of anything
that might raise tensions and force a military confrontation with
the Soviets, maneuvered to quash both documentaries.As Greg
Mitchell's riveting narrative unfolds, we meet extraordinary
characters: the legendary cyclist who became East Berlin’s most
wanted man, the tunneller who had already served four years in the
East German gulag, the Stasi informer who betrays the ‘CBS tunnel’,
the young East Berliner who escapes with her baby, then marries one
of the tunnellers, and an engineer who would later help build the
tunnel under the English Channel.Capturing the hopes and fears of
everyday Berliners, the chilling reach of the Stasi secret police,
and the political tensions of the Cold War, The Tunnels is breaking
history, a propulsive read whose themes still reverberate today.
