At the end of World War II, the German capital city of Berlin was divided into four zones controlled by America, Great Britain, France, and Russia.In June 1948, in an attempt to drive the Allied forces out of Berlin, Stalin stopped all road and rail traffic in and out if the city, whilst simultaneously cutting off all electricity and communications. Shocked by this unexpected turn of events, America and Great Britain lead Allied troops on an unprecedented and perilous mission to airlift thousands of tons of supplies - including food, coal, and medical supplies - to the desperate citizens of West Berlin every day.With unparalleled detail, "The Berlin Airlift" tells the full story of this amazing operation, from the first moments of the Russian blockade to its end in April 1949.
