Die Friedliche Revolution cover

This book is the first time a detailed historical account of the process of SED disempowerment and democratization up to the March 1990 election is available. The text is supplemented by numerous diagrams with which the votes of the population are quantified and evaluated. Using the example of Saxony, the pacemaker of the revolution, the developments in districts, districts, municipalities and companies in interaction with international and national politics are examined and the main driving forces of development are described. The book will have a lasting impact on the image of the "Wende". It leaves no doubt that the population was the central actor in the events. This makes it plausible why developments did not stop when the GDR was renewed, but instead culminated in German unity.
