" This book is a wonderful weaving of the story. However, the title can be misleading. This is about a great deal more than the candy bombers, and it's a great deal more than the Berlin airlift. This book begins not in 1948, when the airlift took place. It begins in 1945, when WWII ended. I have read much history of the 20th century. However, this weaves much diverse information into a tapestry that is a beautiful and evocative story of the triumph of human spirit, on both sides of the air lift. It tells of the political maneuvering which led to the need for an airlift, and not merely the government wrangling, bu the military wrangling and political posturing. Well told and well performed. Highly recommended. "
