Berlin, 1948 - a divided city in a divided country in a divided Europe. The ruined German capital lay 120 miles inside Soviet-controlled eastern Germany. Stalin wanted the Allies out; the Allies were determined to stay, but had only three narrow air corridors linking the city to the West. With new material from American, British and German archives and original interviews with veterans, Turner paints a fresh, vivid picture the airlift. A new history of the Cold War's defining episode.
