Fünf Monate in Berlin: Briefe von Edgar N. Johnson aus dem Jahre 1946

A panorama of life in occupied Berlin

In 1946, Edgar N. Johnson, later Professor of European History at the University of Nebraska, served as a political advisor for the American military government in Berlin. In diary-like letters, he described his meetings with important actors in American occupation politics such as General Lucius D. Clay, many representatives of the other occupying powers, and leading German political and cultural figures.
