  Marta is a young girl who saw thirty miles of barbed wire appear across her city overnight, separating Berlin into West and East—with Marta's home on the Communist Bloc-controlled eastern side. 
   
   
   
  January, 1989 
   
   
   
  Now a spray-painted concrete monolith, the Berlin Wall bisects the city. Kurt, a young East Berliner, often wonders what those living on the other side must think of their unseen neighbors. Do they hate the people of East Germany as completely as Kurt has been instructed to hate them? 
   
   
   
  Inspired by real events, Escape from East Berlin tells two stories of daring bids for freedom from the Eastern Bloc, set decades apart and relayed in alternating perspectives. Triumph and tragedy intertwine in this examination of both the earliest and final days of the Berlin Wall.

These memorable episodes make ideal listening for voters (and voters-to-be), lovers of history, and all concerned citizens.   Included:  Electoral Apocalypses, Episode 1: Poison Pens and Pistols at Dawn: Jefferson, Hamilton, Burr, and the Election of 1800  A brand-new nation faces its greatest crisis yet: as the beloved George Washington leaves the White House, rival factions try to set the course for America's future. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, and Aaron Burr get down and dirty, in an election that features one shocking moment after another. Will the American Revolution devour itself? Or will the young republic find a way through?  Electoral Apocalypses, Episode 2: A House Divided: The Election of 1860 and the Coming of the Civil War  Tumultuous political conventions, delegates who refuse to support official nominees, terrorist attacks, and confrontations in the streets as a nation searches its soul.

Even listeners who think they know all about this era may learn some surprising information.
