"The Berlin blockade (24 June 1948? 12 May 1949) was one of the first major international crises of the Cold War. During the multinational occupation of post?World War II Germany, the Soviet Union blocked the Western Allies' railway, road, and canal access to the sectors of Berlin under Allied control. Their aim was to force the western powers to allow the Soviet zone to start supplying Berlin with food and fuel, thereby giving the Soviets practical control over the entire city. In response, the Western Allies organized the Berlin airlift to carry supplies to the people in West Berlin.[1][2] Aircrews from the United States Air Force, the British Royal Air Force, the Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal New Zealand Air Force, and South African Air Force :338 flew over 200,000 flights in one year, providing up to 4700 tons of daily necessities such as fuel and food to the Berliners. By the spring of 1949, the effort was clearly succeeding and, by April, the airlift was delivering more cargo than had previously been transported into the city by rail. The success of the Berlin Airlift brought embarrassment to the Soviets who had refused to believe it could make a difference. The blockade was lifted in May 1949 and resulted in the creation of two separate German states.[4] The Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) and the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) split up Berlin. In remembrance of the airlift, three airports in the former western zones of the city served as the primary gateways to Germany for another fifty years."--Wikipedia

"In this brilliant reconstruction of that momentous year, courage is the highlight: courage in victory as in the Battle of Britain, in defeat as at Dunkirk and in the streets as flames raged round St. Paul's Cathedral in Christmas week. Hitler's mounting triumphs provide the sombre background, the darkness lifting only faintly towards the end of the year when the United States, still far from direct participation, recognizes its role as the great arsenal of democracy."--Inside jacket flap
