    About this ebook

    El capitán Sean O’Sullivan se ha distinguido como un valeroso soldado durante la Segunda guerra mundial, pero su próxima misión le reserva duras opciones morales. Destinado a supervisar la reconstrucción de Berlín, O’Sullivan descubre de primera mano la realidad de los campos de concentración y las atrocidades cometidas durante la guerra.

    Desde su posición observa también con preocupación el crecimiento del poder soviético en una ciudad dividida entre las fuerzas aliadas, un temor que se confirma con el bloqueo de la ciudad. Los Aliados, sin embargo, no se quedan de brazos cruzados y establecen un puente aéreo para abastecer a la población. Un retrato minucioso y coral del comienzo de la Guerra fría.

      When I read this as a teenager, I thought it was genius. Re-reading it 40 years later, though--and after extensive reading in the history--I am struck by how racist Uris's representations of Germans and Russians are. The Germans are orderly,obedient, pagan death worshippers; Russians are "Asian," animals, cunning and patient in waiting out enemies. The propaganda of the war years is rampant. This book remains among my sentimental favorites because it's one of the books that provoked my interest in the larger world, but its perspective is hopelessly old-school Cold Warrior, a sort of "Mad Men" of the immediate post-WWII period.
    • 5/5
      Wow! Just wow! I’ve just started to reread and sometimes read for the first time Leon Uris’s books about World War II (European Theatre) and am just blown away by them. Armageddon is particularly interesting, and one wonders whether certain things in this book are total fiction or whether they are based on fact. Example: the approach toward governing in Berlin (and Germany in general) after the war ended, which is fascinatingly logical.
    • 3/5
      I remember liking this book, but it was a little disinterested at points. A good view of post-WWII Germany and the communist effects that arose after that...though I haven't read any historical works on that, only fictional representations of the truth.

      It's a good read from what I remember.
    • 5/5
      I love this book for two reasons. The first is because of the historical content. Uris does a masterful job in a fiction setting, at recreating the environment and circumstances that became the first Cold War crisis culminating in the Berlin Airlift. Some of the supporting characters are a little larger than life and would be out of place if the story was poorly written, but Uris makes them real.My second and better reason for recommending this book is because the storytelling is superb. Armageddon has all the components that make for enjoyable reading. The setting keeps you interested, the characters are sympathetic and believable; most of us will be able to identify with their all too apparent shortcomings, triumphs and disappointments. Like most of Uris's earlier works, the reader comes away thinking: "this could have been about me."
    • 5/5
      A great story about the crisis in which the Soviet Union cut Berlin off from the West.
