Nowhere is America’s special significance for Germany as readily grasped as in Berlin. In around 80 short essays, this book presents an array of celebrated Americans who came to Berlin. It characterizes the places where they lived and made their impact, and where some still live. And they in turn experienced Berlin. Ingo Juchler depicts vividly how these diplomats, intellectuals, scientists, sports stars, musicians and other artists wove the history of German-American relations from U.S. independence in 1776 up to the present day. Maps, info-boxes, helpful use of color, and a wealth of contemporary and present-day photographs make this book the ideal companion for anyone visiting Berlin on the trail of Mildred Harnack, Martin Luther King, Angela Davis, Iggy Pop, George Bush, Daniel Libeskind, Jonathan Franzen and many other famous U.S. personalities.
