Checkmate in Berlin

The Cold War Showdown That Shaped the Modern World

Giles Milton

Following the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, the victorious Allied powers divided the administration of the country among themselves: the capital, Berlin, fell within the Soviet Zone, but it too was divided into American, British, French and Soviet Zones. Giles Milton describes how that pragmatic solution of artificial borders led to escalating rivalry and hostility between East and West that culminated in the siege of the city and the construction of the infamous Berlin Wall.
