I found this review online:

This is a compelling read, beginning with the liberation of the Nazi death camps, when angry and frustrated Allied commanders ordered German citizens from neighboring towns to tour the prisons and see firsthand the atrocities their government had committed. As Soviet domination in eastern Germany threatens to choke the divided city of Berlin, Uris relates the fascinating events of the Allied airlift - a herculean task involving British and American cargo planes flying around the clock into the west side of the city to deliver supplies. If not for the airlift, West Berlin would have collapsed and succumbed to Soviet domination.

The story is told through the points of view of a multitude of characters: an American pilot; a young German woman; a former SS officer who was forced to perform unspeakable acts; British, American, even Russian commanders. The list of characters coming in and out of the story is formidable, yet convincing and essential. And, like Uris' other books, ARMAGEDDON is essentially a portrayal of the indomitable human spirit; for Uris fans unfamiliar with this book, or for fans of historical fiction this novel is highly recommended.

I have reserved this book for Apolonia & Danesnboxer's Never Judge a Book By It's Cover Release Challenge! (Week 34: 08/06/05: US FLAG) I will make release notes later in the week when I release it.

RELEASE NOTES:

Themed release: We left this book propped up on the ground right outside the library's front doors, and right across from their American flag flying proudly in the breeze. The Georgetown Library is on Martin Luther King Drive at 9th street.
