Critics Review

“… well illustrated with maps and photos… A book that I found to be both interesting and informative.” * ModelingMadness.Com *

Lots of interesting reading in this one, along with a lot of archive photos, and as ever in this series, a section of colour artwork pages, with maps, vehicle and aircraft profiles, plus some full page uniform illustrations. For those who lived through the Cold War I am sure you will find this interesting, but worth remembering that the Berlin Wall only came down in 1989, so anyone much under 40 years old will never have lived under the threat that the Cold War posed. The divided city of Berlin, and the Berlin Wall, was perhaps the biggest potential flash point that could have sparked WW3, though thankfully it never did.

– Robin Buckland * Military Model Scene *

Incredibly easy to read and informative book about the Berlin Brigade.

About The Author

Andrew Long

Andrew Long, from Great Britain, is a military history researcher and author. His fascination with the Cold War began with a trip to West Berlin in 1986, travelling through Checkpoint Charlie to visit the East. Andrew’s writing comes from a desire to make sense of an extremely complex period in modern history, weaving together inter-relating stories involving politics, ideologies, personalities, technological advances, and geography. There is still much to be told on this fascinating subject. After a successful career in marketing, Andrew relocated to Cornwall and took up writing full time.
