Forlaget skriver om denne boka:
Most books about those turbulent days stop with the division of Berlin and the immediately ensuing incidents. This insightful account details, for example, the Soviet efforts to interfere with air access and the Berlin role in the Cuban missile crisis.
"With this volume, John Ausland brings the perspective of a participant - and keen observer - to our understanding of the Berlin crisis. Highly recommended." ( John Lewis Caddis, Ohio University)
