Sent to oversee the rebuilding of Berlin, O Sullivan is exposed to the horrific truths of the Holocaust, a shattered and defeated society, and the new threat of Soviet power as the Iron Curtain begins to shadow the city. When Soviet forces blockade Berlin and the airlift begins, O Sullivan is faced with profound moral dilemmas in an increasingly complicated world.
Armageddon is one of the great fictional portrayals of Europe in the earliest days of the Cold War.
