Product Description:
Edwin Gere's, THE UNHERALDED MEN AND WOMEN OF THE BERLIN BLOCKADE AND AIRLIFT tells the story of the greatest humanitarian effort in modern history. With the ground and water routes to West Berlin blockaded by the Soviet Union, the extraordinary Berlin airlift flew coal, food, medicine, and everything needed for survival to 2.24 million West Berliners for 462 days until traditional supply routes were restored in September 1949.

Through personal memoirs, THE UNHERALDED salutes the thousands of ground forces, enlisted soldiers, sailors, and airmen, men and women both, noncommissioned air crew, and German civilians whose valiant efforts made the airlift a success. THE UNHERALDED, includes over 30 photographs and gives a concise, insightful history of the Soviet blockade and Berlin airlift. THE UNHERALDED also presents, for the first time, both the biographical detail and accounts of the American, British and Commonwealth subjects, and Germans who lost their lives in airlift-related accidents.
