Tom Brokaw – The Collapse: The Accidental Opening of the Berlin Wall

Twenty-five years ago this November, the Berlin Wall—infamous symbol of divided Cold War Europe—seemed to be falling.

But the opening of the gates wasn’t planned by the East German ruling regime, nor was it the result of a bargain between Reagan, Bush and Gorbachev. It was an accident. Tom Brokaw was there that night, broadcasting live from the Brandenburg Gate. Join him as he interviews prize-winning historian Mary Elise Sarotte about what really happened to bring about the momentous events of that night.
