Cold Victory: A Novel of the Berlin Airlift

You know you're winning when the enemy turns to dirty tricks ....

With the Airlift gaining momentum, the Russians turn to more devious tactics to thwart the forces of democracy. Key players - or their loved ones - are targeted in unscrupulous attacks. Simultaneously, the policy of "collective guilt" has been replaced by "collective amnesty," enabling former Nazis to worm their way back into positions of power. Yet throughout this dangerous dance with the henchmen of dictators, women are steadily rebuilding Berlin and Germany.

Award-winning novelist Helena P. Schrader takes the reader away from the limelight and into the shadow side of the Berlin Airlift to explore the social, psychological and long-term impact of this seminal event.

Based on historical events, Cold Victory reminds readers that standing up to tyrants isn't easy - but it's necessary.
