Fascinating recollection of the fall of the Berlin Wall with George H.W. Bush, Margaret Thatcher, Mikhail Gorbachev and François Mitterrand. Worth a read! What brought everything down was the inability to control the fantastic migration out of East Germany into Hungary and Czechoslovakia, and later to West Germany. That was the end for the Soviet empire, Francois Mitterand. I also thought it wrong that East Germany, whom which, after all, we fought against, should be the first to come into the European Community, while Poland and Czechoslovakia, whom we went to war for, had to wait. They should have been free in 1945 but were kept under the Communist yoke until the collapse of the Soviet Union and, even now, are not sufficiently integrated into Europe and suffer from protectionism, Margaret Thatcher.
