Recenzii
Dale Herspring has uncovered a fascinating story about the conduct and collapse of the East German army during both the protest against the East German government and also the reunification of Germany.
This is a brilliant book, combining scholarly rigor at its best with compassionate understanding of the complex social problems caused by the downfall of East Germany's political system and its military structure. A masterpiece of contemporary historical writing: carefully researched, thoroughly analyzed, judiciously concluded, and well-written. Excellent!
In Requiem for an Army, Dale R. Herspring offers a useful English summary of the events surrounding the collapse of the East German military. Professor Herspring contribution is to have identified the key actors as well as the questions we should ask them to determine why the NVA permitted a peaceful transition to democracy and reunification.
The remarkable materials assembled in the Herspring volume in the desintegration of the NVA will make this book the point of departure for analysis of a military-political event that had no precedent as of 1989.
All in all a fascinating account; it is hard to fault the thorough treatment of the topic. It fills an important gap in the publications on German unification available in English.
