The Day Before the Berlin Wall

the long version

According to the legend, we had advance knowledge of the wall, and we knew that the East-German troops who were going to build it had been told to halt construction if the Americans were to take aggressive action to stop them. The novel's webSite has a [page][1] that demonstrates that the "legend" upon which the novel is base is true. [1]: http://voicesunderberlin.com/DayBefore/legend.html
