In the tradition of the great narrative storytellers, Andrei Cherny recounts the exhilarating saga of the unlikely men who made the Berlin Airlift one of the great military and humanitarian successes of American history.The Candy Bombers is a remarkable story with profound implications for our own time. Cherny tells the tale of the illassorted group of castoffs and secondstringers who not only saved millions of desperate people from a dire threat, but also won the hearts of Americas defeated enemies, inspired people around the world to believe in Americas fundamental goodness, avoided World War III, and won the greatest battle of the Cold War without firing a shot.With newly unclassified documents, unpublished letters and diaries, and fresh primary interviews, The Candy Bombers takes readers along as American pilots, with only a few small rickety planes, manage to feed and supply West Berlin completely by air for nearly a year; as Harry Truman exploits the very real threat of war to win an upset reelection campaign; as Americas first secretary of defense descends into madness in the midst of a dangerous military crisis; and as a lovesick American pilot shows that acts of basic human kindness can send powerful ripples through the course of history.What an exciting, inspiring, and wonderfullywritten book this is....Each page has lessons for today, and it is also a thrilling narrative to read.Walter Isaacson, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Steve Jobs
