Russian Zone

<p>First published in 1947 <i>Russian Zone</i> is a record of the conditions Gordon Schaffer found in the Soviet-occupied zone of Germany during a stay of ten weeks. In that time he had interviewed scores of Germans in positions of responsibility- ministers of the various provincial governments leaders of the political parties of the trade unions the co-operatives the cultural bodies and a host of other organisations. He also met ministers of religion and shop stewards. He talked to the ordinary people in every walk of life. The author tries to set down a story of the Soviet zone which so far has not been told and which the world ought to know to understand the future of Germany and Europe better. This is a fascinating historical document for general readers. </p>
