| Synopsis: |
An analysis of the Stalinisation of East Germany in the period of 1945 to 1953. The book focuses on the social roots of the emerging dictatorship. These were located above all in the traditions of the German labour movement and the history of the anti-Nazi resistance. The GDR was not imposed on the East German people at the point of Russian bayonets; it emerged out of the interaction between Soviet occupation policy and the politics of the East German working class. The analysis developed in this book is based on research in the East German archives. It should be of interest to those concerned with the division of Germany, the nature of the GDR, and the whole trajectory of post-war German politics. The work also tells a powerful human story, in which the aspirations of antifascists and Socialists were manipulated and ultimately betrayed by Stalin. |
