Summary
"This book is a seminal analysis of East Germany's peaceful revolution of 1989. It explodes the prevailing assumption that German unity was little more than an all-out takeover of the East German state under the auspices of West Germany's Basic Law. It underscores the success - not the failure - of the East German citizens' movement as a major constitutional event. Jaggi's narrative documents in masterly detail the all-but-forgotten victories the movement had achieved ..., several of which were constitutionally redefined in unified Germany as obligatory state goals."--Back cover.
