Acclaimed author Andrei Cherny tells the gripping saga of a rag-tag band of Americans - with limited resources and little hope for success - keeping West Berliners alive in the face of Soviet tyranny, winning the hearts and minds of former enemies, and giving the world a shining example of fundamental goodness.©2008 Andrie Cherny (P)2008 Recorded Books, LLC Fuerza Aérea de US Unión Soviética Europa Fuerza Aérea Alemania Estados Unidos Fuerzas Armadas Inspirador Guerra Autodeterminación Américas Socialismo Rusia Militar Imperialismo Japón imperial

The author & narrator take us for a harrowing ride with the candy bombers. I read the hardcover & was so impressed that I couldn't wait to hear it read to me with this audible edition.
This is a refreshing history lesson told as a gripping story full of fright, passion, sadness and joy. So many times the hair stood up on my arms and I cried out of terror and happiness. An outstanding story about the triumph of heart.
So many things came to light about the cold war and how close our world did come to communism.
Cherny made this manly history lesson read like chick-lit while including the details of politics and war.
My father and husband are history buffs & they were overjoyed with it. Even they learned new things.
Excellent Excellent Excellent!

thrilling! I read the hardcover then audible

This book is a fascinating and detailed behind the scenes look at how Harry Truman and Gen. Lucius Clay saved West Berlin, West Germany and Western Europe from the clutches of Stalin and the Communists in the aftermath of WWII. It is much more than just the technical description of how the greatest airlift in history preserved West Berlin despite the challenges of a harsh winter (no thanks to Gen. Curtis LeMay, who was given and took most of the credit for this win over the Communists. It is a reminder of the extremely difficult environment that over 2 Million Germans endured in the ruins of Berlin in the several years following WWII. Without the leadership of Harry Truman and Clay, both of whom went against the conventional wisdom of the wise thinkers of their time, Gen Bradley, Dean Acheson, Dewey, and others, all of Europe would have fallen under the control of the Communists. I highly recommend this book.

How Western Europe was Saved From Communism!

This book covers a much wider and deeper area of history than I was expecting. A great book, highly recommended.

Much broader in scope than I thought.

I learned about WWII in school, I learned about the Cold War, but their connection through the city of Berlin was never made clear. I hadn't realized how devastated the city was after the war, nor how large a part its socio-political reconstruction played in the early years of the American-Soviet standoff. This book did so much to help me understand the nature of the Cold War as well as the sentiment of the German people after WWII. I stayed up until 2am many nights listening to this wonderful story.

So much I didn't know

The narration was excellent. The story flowed really well and gave me a new appreciation for
all the players in the Berlin Airlift. First we won the War ...Then we won the peace.
Great Historical information on an understated feat that the US achieved in post war Germany. Especially liked the story about Gail Halverson....wish someone would make a movie!!!!

Very Interesting Piece of History
