“This is a fantastic book! It is as engrossing as any novel I have ever read. The author does a good job of fleshing out the main participants of the Berlin Airlift, and writes the politics in such a way that a novice like me is able to follow them. I will definitely be seeking out more works by this author, and I highly recommend this uplifting book.”

I knew of the Berlin Airlift but not really the whole story. I know it now after reading this amazing book! Don’t let the 550 pages scare you off. It reads quick and for sure it is not boring. Mr. Cherny tells the story as it happened and it’s a fascinating one of how America and Russia totally wiped out Berlin and then not so long after were at odds and we came to the people of Berlin’s aid. A tremendous amount of research went into this book and it shows. I really enjoyed this book and learning more about the history of our great country. Job well done, Mr. Cherny, thank you!”

Looking forward to seeing if the story matches the stories I've heard from family members --- some that were on the ground in what was the Russian sector of Berlin, and from my father, who was stationed in the American sector of Berlin at what became known around the world as CheckPoint Charlie!”

The (real) characters made a difference in the lives of many people, some of whom are alive today. Incredible.”
