Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xiv, 624, [2] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Minor edge soiling. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Signed inside front cover by Earl (sp?) Moore, President of the Berlin Airlift Veterans, U.S. Navy Commander VR-6 and signed on fep by Bill Morrissey (sp?), RAF Nov. 1948 - Sep 49. A third signature is present but relationship to Airlift is unclear. Andrei Hugo Cherny (born August 4, 1975) is the CEO of Aspiration. He is also an author, historian, and the founder and President of Democracy: A Journal of Ideas as well as a former business consultant to Fortune 100 companies, prosecutor, Navy reserve officer, White House aide, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and the John F. Kennedy School of Government Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and chair of the Arizona Democratic Party. He is the author of The Candy Bombers: The Untold Story of the Berlin Airlift and America's Finest Hour. "The Candy Bombers" was described as like "Stephen Ambrose at his best" by historian Douglas Brinkley and "everything one could want from a work of history-engrossing, informative and stirring" by the Washington Post. On the sixtieth anniversary of the Berlin Airlift, Andrei Cherny tells a remarkable story with profound implications for the world today. In the tradition of the best narrative storytellers, he brings together newly unclassified documents, unpublished letters and diaries, and fresh primary interviews to tell the story of the ill-assorted group of castoffs and second-stringers who not only saved millions of desperate people from a dire threat but changed how the world viewed the United States, and set in motion the chain of events that would ultimately lead to the dismantling of the Berlin Wall and to America's victory in the Cold War. On June 24, 1948, intent on furthering its domination of Europe, the Soviet Union cut off all access to West Berlin, prepared to starve the city into submission unless the Americans abandoned it. Soviet forces hugely outnumbered the Allies', and most of America's top officials considered the situation hopeless. But not all of them. Harry Truman, an accidental president, derided by his own party; Lucius Clay, a frustrated general, denied a combat command and relegated to the home front; Bill Tunner, a logistics expert downsized to a desk job in a corner of the Pentagon; James Forrestal, a secretary of defense beginning to mentally unravel; Hal Halvorsen, a lovesick pilot who had served far from the conflict, flying transport missions in the backwater of a global war-together these unlikely men improvised and stumbled their way into a uniquely American combination of military and moral force unprecedented in its time. This is the forgotten foundation tale of America in the modern world, the story of when Americans learned, for the first time, how to act at the summit of world power-a masterful and exciting work of historical narrative, and one with strong resonance for our time. The VR-6 was reassigned in 1948 to the emerging Military Air Transport Service (MATS) at which time it joined it's sister squadrons VR-3 and 8 in "Operation Vittles" for the air lift of supplies and commodities into Russian isolated East Berlin. During the 8 plus months in Germany, they flew a total of 49,990 hours and carried 229,989 tons of cargo into the city of Berlin. They established a record for payload efficiency and aircraft utilization at better than 10 flight hours per day per aircraft for the entire period. It is interesting to note that either VR-6 or VR-8 was the top ranked squadron each month (Navy, Air Force or Allied) every single month of the operation. …

Signed by the author with thick red Sharpie/marker on the blank second front endpaper. "60 Minutes wrote the book on broadcast journalism. Now here's the book on 60 Minutes. With the full cooperation of its creator/executive producer Don Hewitt and his incomparable team of correspondents, 60 Minutes: 25 Years of Television's Finest Hour presents the first-ever illustrated history of a true American institution. Going behind the scenes and into the inner workings of the best loved and most talked about show on television - all the way from dead last to number one in the ratings - it's a success story as riveting as any ever told on 60 Minutes. It all started one night in 1968 over $13.45 worth of sandwiches in Don Hewitt's office at CBS. One of the most daring pioneers in television news, Hewitt had stepped on too many toes and was on the outs with management, but he had a wild idea for a new kind of program combining news and entertainment, and he asked Harry Reasoner to host the pilot film. Figuring he owed Hewitt a wasted evening, Reasoner humored him, and an ambitious young newsman named Mike Wallace agreed to co-host the show only because he was convinced it didn't have a chance of lasting more than a season. 25 years later, Wallace and Reasoner and Hewitt - along with Morley Safer, Dan Rather, Ed Bradley, Diane Sawyer, Steve Kroft, Lesley Stahl and Andy Rooney - share the personal stories of triumph and travail that have made 60 Minutes as entertaining and infuriating for them as they've made it for their millions of fans. Over the past quarter century, in interviews with some of the world's most fascinating luminaries, they've offered intimate and often stunning portraits of everyone from Liz and Dick to LBJ and Richard Nixon, from Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg to Vladimir Horowitz and Laurence Olivier, from Golda Meir and Yassir Arafat to Clifford Irving and Norman Mailer, from Martina Navratilova and Michael Jordan to Ray Charles and Luciano Pavarotti, from Malcolm Forbes and H.L. Hunt to Gore Vidal and Barry Goldwater, from Oprah and Phil and Johnny to the Clintons and the Reagans - and hundreds of others. Here are the innocent and the guilty, the con-men and the swindlers, the cowards and heroes from around the world. Here are news-breaking stories with the besieged (Woody Allen and the Shah of Iran) and the belligerent (Gorden Liddy and Henry Kissinger), the outrageous (Camille Paglia and Anastasio Somoza) and the infamous (Manuel Noriega and the Ayatollah Khomeini). Here are unforgettable stories: like the exoneration of Lenell Geter, and innocent man freed from a Texas jail by a segment on 60 Minutes; like the explosive expose, "What Really Happened at the Gulf of Tonkin?"; like "Casablanca," a lyrical reminiscence on what Harry Reasoner felt might just be the best movie ever made. From the fiery hell of Kuwaiti oil fields to the bucolic paradise of Bali, from the corridors of power in Washington during Watergate to the mean streets of south central Los Angeles during the riots of 1992, 60 Minutes has gone where the action is - coaxing and cajoling, badgering and buttonholing - giving the news a human face, making people care. With its revealing profiles of Hewitt and his team, with its scores of entertaining excerpts from their hottest stories - accompanied by personal commentaries and insights from the correspondents - along with a lively narrative history and hundreds of dramatic photographs, 60 Minutes: 25 Years of Television's Finest Hour brings the show vividly to life on the printed page." - excerpt from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
