About this listen

At the end of World War II, American army officer Captain Sean O’Sullivan is commissioned with rebuilding Berlin. Reeling from the death of his brothers at German hands and faced with the direct horrors of the Holocaust, O’Sullivan struggles against his animosity towards the nation he is helping restore. Meanwhile, Soviet forces blockade Germany in a bid for power, and the Western Allies must unite to prevent a communist takeover. When the airlift begins, the Allies find their deepest convictions tested as they fight against a threat even more dangerous than Hitler.

Meticulously researched, this New York Times bestselling novel gives a historically accurate account of the early days of the Cold War and the fight for German redemption.

“Magnificent. The great drama of the Berlin airlift...” -The Columbus Dispatch

“A vast panorama of people and places...dramatic moment after dramatic moment in a throbbing tempo.” -New York Herald Tribune

Exceptional story of post war Germany and Berlin in particular. Also relevant is the accurate depiction of the Russian psyche - still very relevant.

“What is wrong with The German People that they could do Such Dreadful Things?” This is such a wrong headed way of looking at social phenomena that I can’t even begin to parse it. Attributing the crimes of the Nazi era to some immutable facet of the German national character misses the genuinely interesting and useful insight that can be gleaned from studying history, society, culture… people.

Also unless you’re super interested in aircraft specifications this book will draaaaaag.

Borderline racist and deeply boring
