FEATURED AUTHOR
Mark Fenemore
From subcultures in the GDR, Mark Fenemore branched into history of sexuality, education and policing. His latest work takes Berlin seriously as a cold-war hot spot. Whether as smugglers or as film addicts, spies or kidnappers, he celebrates Berliners as everyday cold-war actors. His goal is to write a micro history of this global conflict.
