Short description:
This is the first comprehensive study of the rebuilding of West Germany's cities following the Second World War. Diefendorf presents a wealth of material on all aspects of reconstruction - from the bombing that caused the massive destruction and the clearing away of debris to urban planning, architecture, and execution.
