On-point historical photographs combined with strong narration bring the story of the Berlin Wall to life. Kids will learn about the partition of Berlin after WWII, the cold war tensions between the US and the USSR that led to the building of the wall, and the anti-communist pressures that led it to fall. As an added bonus, readers will learn about how this played out on TV. Tom Brokaw of NBC happened to be there when the wall came down, and he and his team captured a historical event by accident. Accompanying video will show readers what viewers saw at the time.
