Checkpoint Charlie: The Cold War, The Berlin Wall, and the Most Dangerous Place On Earth by Iain MacGregor. Anyone know when/if the book is to be released? Last I heard was in November 2019. I checked with Barnes and Noble. They do not have the book yet. Thanking all in advance. Regards, ED.

That sounds like a good book. I’ll have to check it out. What do we know about the author? Anything other than the book cover?

Chuck – the author is a British historian, author, and publisher. He took the project on as a bit of a lark after some discussion with his family and three years later, this is the result. One thing that I think is very notable – it’s not a dry, historical account devoid of personality. He wrote the book based on people’s stories, which is, in my view, a far better way to lend an historical account. We can relate to stories about people far better than we can a bunch of numbers and dates.
I think it’s a great effort and Dr. MacGregor did a fabulous job. He solicited some stories from BUSMVA members as well.
