CHECKMATE IN BERLIN: The Cold War Showdown That Shaped the Modern World
Recounts the first battle of the Cold War--the race to seize Berlin--as we've never before seen it. An exhilarating tale of intense rivalry and raw power, it is above all a story of flawed individuals who were determined to win, and Milton does a masterful job of weaving among all the key players' motivations and thinking at every turn. 16 pages of photos.
