Coinciding with the tenth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Beyond the Fall presents a ten-year photographic documentation of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union in transition. Anthony Suau's remarkable visual document opens with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. From there the book examines the monumental process of Communist societies struggling to transform into open-market economies.

This timely book illustrates the widening gap between politicians in Moscow and America, who struggle to represent business as usual in the international political arena, and the Soviet people, who are in turmoil at home. From the horror of mass graves in Chechnya to the giddy frenzy of Moscow nightlife for Russia's nouveaux riches, Suau's photographs capture the hope and despair of a transition that appears to be at the point of explosion.
