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.
