Conflict


The author of this book Serge Schemann he is a writer and editorial page editor born on April 12, 1945 currently 67. The book's name is "When the wall came down". It has 114 pages. This book talks about the rise and fall of "The Wall". The main conflict is external. It is the Germans wanting to reunite East and West Berlin. At first as people try to cross over they get shot and killed. Later on as the book proceeds. There are riots and the Soviet Union used power to keep the people under control. Then there is the main conflict when the gates are opened and after the people are gathered together the walls is started to be destroyed by people who start chipping it away with hammers and chisels. But also thinking back the author didn't go in detail with the communist leader opening the gate which was the beginning of the fall of the Soviet Union. I am sure that he had a very big internal conflict when he was deciding if he should open the gate or not. The book finished by the Soviet Union falling down and Russia becoming non communist and Putin becoming the new leader.
