I couldn’t put this down.
After listening to the podcast a while back, then finding out there was a book, I am blown away by this episode in history. Helena Merriman has brought the stories of the people who created this tunnel to life. It’s impossible not to feel the tension and claustrophobia, created not only by the tunnel itself but also by the level of state surveillance.
A little, helpful history has been thrown in, I expect for people like me who are not completely aware of the political situation at the time, although I did read a review that said they didn’t like the addition, but I disagree.
I was 11 when the wall came down, I remember it vividly but that doesn’t mean I knew all about why it went up and what happened behind it, Merriman has given me cultural and political context which I am grateful for.
Read this, you won’t regret it, it’s a worthwhile story that should be remembered. And on the subject of walls, Joachim Rudolph is absolutely right on what they all have in common.
