General Clay's careful yet gripping account of Germany's first four years after WWII. As Allied C-in-C, the author organised the Allied Control Council and outwitted Zhukov with the Berlin Airlift. He also discusses Nuremberg, the Black Market and the all-threatening Iron Curtain. Utterly absorbing. PUBLISHED IN THE SAME YEAR AS THE US EDITION, THE UK EDITION IS CONSIDERABLY SCARCER.
