Tim Mohr

[17] Mohr's narrative history of East German punk rock and the role the movement played in bringing down the Berlin Wall and in forming the culture of 21st century Berlin was published in German by Heyne[18] in March 2017 as Stirb nicht im Warteraum der Zukunft: Die ostdeutschen Punks und der Fall der Mauer and in English by Algonquin Books on 11 September 2018 as Burning Down the Haus: Punk Rock, Revolution, and the Fall of the Berlin Wall.

[19][20][11][21][22][23][24][25][26] Vogue magazine said the book was "a joy in the way it brings back punk's fury and high stakes",[27] while the Wall Street Journal wrote, "Mr. Mohr has written an important work of Cold War cultural history.

"[28] Rolling Stone called Burning Down the Haus "a thrilling and essential social history that details the rebellious youth movement that helped change the world,"[29] and named it a book of the year.
