The Fall of the Berlin Wall

Buckley's The Fall of the Berlin Wall is a short and powerful book.

Essentially an overview of the period between the end of WWII and when the Berlin wall came down, Buckley fills the pages with individual anecdotes that add color to the tale.

Most striking to me is how much less oppressive the world is now compared to, say, 1980. It's easy to get caught up in the Mid-East mess, but that region was probably just as bad off 30 years ago.

We're making positive progress!
