In words and pictures, this text tells the story of Berlin during the Cold War and the thousands of American soldiers and their families who served and lived there. Although American troops entered as conquerors, they became in a few short years protectors of West Berlin's citizens. They developed a unique relationship with the city's inhabitants, and this book recounts that relationship and how American military personnel helped preserve the conditions that allowed Berliners to reduce the Wall the rubble in November of 1989 as a prelude to the peaceful reunification of Germany.
