Checkpoint Charlie Book

[Ed]

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.

It looks like it is available on Amazon right now

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.
