STASILAND: STORIES FROM BEHIND THE BERLIN WALL (PB)

Stasiland is a gripping portrait of the horror and the absurdities of state oppression. In a world of total surveillance, its celebration of resilience and resistance is as potent as ever. Travel through the remains of East Germany with Anna Funder as she meets the people who lived in the GDR before the fall of the wall. She also meets the Stasi themselves - men and women who spied on their families and friends - people who, despite everything, are still loyal to the vanished regime and who long for the return of Communism.
