"Berlin in the Cold War vividly describes the conflict between the two superpowers-the USA and the Soviet Union-as it played out in Berlin, the divided city that was the frontier town, the spy post, and the battlefield. The book highlights the dramatic events that touched the whole world: the blockade, the airlift, the uprising of June 1953, the construction of the Wall, stories of escape and espionage, and the fall of the Iron Curtain. Includes numerous pictures and a map.
