High Jinx: A Blackford Oakes Novel de William F. Buckley
First edition -good
OK review of what happened in Germany with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the politics of how the Cold War ended with Gorbachev etc. Good for an overall view but I learned more details from another book how some misunderstandings led to the opening of the Wall.
