**** FOUR STARS ALL AROUND.


History, exciting? Only author Michael Meyer could take a story about the fall of the Berlin Wall, and make it so thrilling, I could not put it down. "The Year That Changed the World" is absolutely phenomenal.


President Reagan's "Mr. Grobachev, tear down this wall!" exhortation when visiting Berlin in 1987 has long been cited as the call that brought the Cold War to an end. Not only was the book a pleasure to read, but I actually felt like I took something away from it. This untold story is an excellent background on the fall of European Communism.

I will let our historian Meyer tell you the rest!
