"Magnificent ... Armageddon is a novel about Berlin ... what took place immediately after the war ... the handful of Americans and British who stayed behind while everybody else rushed home to enjoy the pleasure of peace ... the great drama of the Berlin airlift ... A novel of time and place where relationships are complex, loves private." - Columbus Dispatch

From the author of "Empire Falls"

"[Russo] skewers academic pretensions and infighting with mad abandon ... in a clear and musuclar prose that is a pleasure to read ... I had to stop often to guffaw, gasp, wheeze and wipe away my tears."
-- Henry Kisor, Chicago Sun-Times
