Condemned as a fascist putsch in the East and praised as a 'people's uprising' in the West, the uprising of 17 June 1953 shook East Germany. Drawing on interviews and archive research, this book examines East German citizens' memories of the unrest and reflects on the nature of state power in the GDR.

Richard Millington completed his PhD at the University of Liverpool, UK. He is a Lecturer in German at the University of Chester, UK.
