Berlin in the Cold War: The Battle for the Divided City

No other confl ict had such a powerful infl uence on the modern world
as the Cold War between the two Superpowers of the USA and the
Soviet Union. Berlin, divided by the Wall, was the front-line city of
this confl ict. Nowhere else did East and West stand face to face with
such proximity and menace.
This book describes the dramatic events of the blockade and the
airlift, the people's uprising on 17th June 1953, the escape stories,
the espionage missions and the collapse of the Iron Curtain.
Contains numerous photos and a map of key locations.
