Produced in association with the Imperial War Museum, this meticulously curated partwork magazine presents the complex geopolitical landscape of post-war Europe, documenting the division of spoils between Allied powers, the emergence of a new European order, and the dramatic Berlin airlift through rare photographs, firsthand eyewitness accounts, a dedicated campaign map, and contemporaneous newspaper reproductions.
