For many east Germans, struggling to find their feet in the new realities of a reunited Germany, and missing the rigid certainties of life in a totalitarian state, it struck a deeper chord. In retrospect the G.D.R. really didn't seem all that malign, just a bit comical with its puttering cars, camp displays of military might and empty shelves.

Crisply written and sophisticated, it's a stylish time capsule of the mid-'60s apex of British mod-era style...
