zoologischer garten (berlin, germany)

The unbelievable true story of the Cold War's strangest proxy war, fought between the zoos on either side of the Berlin Wall and unlike anything readers have heard before. This historical piece is an epic tale of desperate rivalries, human follies, and an animal-mad city.

Presents the story of Knut, the first polar bear cub at the Berlin Zoo in more than thirty years, and the efforts of Thomas Dorflein, a zookeeper who nurtured and fed him after the cub's mother rejected him.
