The post-World War Two Berlin Blockade enabled the Soviets to orchestrate a determined programme of harassment, intimidation, flexing of muscle and Socialist propaganda to force the Allies out. Truman had already used the atomic bomb: Britain and America would not be cowed. History's largest airborne relief programme was introduced to save the beleaguered city. In a war of attrition, diplomatic bluff and backstabbing and mobilizing of forces, this is the story of the tense political standoff as the West braced itself for a third world war.
