Ken Smith, author of Inside Time, was in Berlin before, during and after the Wall came down. Culled from interviews with both East and West Germans, this is the ordinary man's story. It focuses on the history of the wall and its memories for East and West Germans, their impressions and portraits. He contrasts May Day 1989 with May Day 1990 and chronicles the change that is affecting East and West Germany. Through a series of telling portraits the Germans convey their own sentiments.
