'Superb. The city that is always ‘im Werden’ has found its narrator... [Barney White-Spunner] has done something astonishing, constructing a narrative that spans more than a thousand years, that can only be told in the context of the higher political history of Germany, and indeed Europe, yet which at every turn shows his depth of personal affection for a city he knows so well and clearly loves. That mix of the private and the public is just one of the things that makes the book so absorbing.'

— Neil MacGregor 

Quotes

  • 'Aware that Berliners complain the world knows their city only for its Nazi and Cold War epochs, White-Spunner unfolds a municipal history that illuminates the full complexity of this metropolis’s thousand-year evolution... Thoroughly engrossing!'

    — Bryce Christensen

  • 'An impressively clear and engaging biography of a fascinating city at the very centre of European history.'

    — Antony Beevor

  • 'My only complaint is that it was so fascinating I just wish it had been longer. What a story!'

    — Philip Mansel
