Cold Peace

Three years after WWII, Europe struggles with rationing, widespread unemployment and a growing Soviet threat. Hitler's former capital lies ruined under the joint occupation and control of wartime allies bitterly at odds. With the currency worthless, the population lives on hand—outs or turns to crime and prostitution. Deep inside the Soviet Zone, Berlin appears to be an ideal target for a communist take—over, putting the defenders of democracy on a collision course with Stalin's merciless aggression.A Battle of Britain ace, a female air traffic controller, a concentration camp survivor and an ex—ATA woman pilot are just some of those trying to find their place in the post—war world. An air ambulance service offers a shimmer of hope, but when a Soviet fighter brings down a British passenger liner, Berlin becomes a flashpoint. The world stands poised on the brink of World War Three.
