Berlin
in the Balance, 1945-1949 : The Blockade, the Airlift, the First Major
Battle of the Cold War
by Thomas Parrish
Over fifty years ago, the Soviet army blockaded West Berlin. The U.S.
and Britain responded with an airlift, packing WWII troop planes with coal,
potatoes, and flour. Not even air commanders believed that the fleet could
supply the city for long, yet "Operation Vittles" won the opening battle
of the Cold War. Flying in weather so bad "the birds walked," harassed
by Soviet fighters, Allied airmen kept West Berlin fed, fueled, and free.

Blind
Man's Bluff : The Untold Story of American Submarine Espionage
by Sherry Sontag, Christopher Drew, Annette Lawrence Drew (Contributor)
Little is known--and less has been published--about American submarine
espionage during the Cold War. These submerged sentinels silently monitored
the Soviet Union's harbors, shadowed its subs, watched its missile tests,
eavesdropped on its conversations, and even retrieved top-secret debris
from the bottom of the sea. In an engaging mix of first-rate journalism
and historical narrative, Sherry Sontag, Christopher Drew, and Annette
Lawrence Drew describe what went on. --John J. Miller - Amazon.com

Cold
War Secret Nuclear Bunkers
by Nick J. McCamley
Book Description: In recent years full details have gradually begun
to emerge about US and British preparations for defense against Nuclear
attack during the cold war. It as believed that both the civilian and military
command could continue to operate from a nationwide series of underground
bunkers. These bunkers were actually built at enormous expense. A vast
network of radar stations stretching across northern England Canada and
alaska were co-ordinated from an underground complex under Cheyenne Mountain
in Colorado. Underground bunkers were built throughout THE UK and the US
congress planned to weather the storm at the Green Briar country club.
McCamley’s revelations are intriguing in their own right and also have
some disturbing broader implications.

Drawing
the Line : The American Decision to Divide Germany, 1944-1949
by Carolyn Eisenberg
In this fresh and challenging study of the origins of the Cold War,
Professor Eisenberg traces the American role in dividing post-war Germany.
Drawing upon original documentary sources, she explores how U.S. policy-makers
chose partition and mobilized reluctant West Europeans behind that approach.
The book casts new light on the Berlin blockade, demonstrating that the
United States rejected United Nations mediation and relied on its nuclear
monopoly as the means of protecting its German agenda. The Publisher
