Publisher's summary

In April 1945, Soviet forces descended on Berlin in the final phase of the war in Europe. The fighting was fierce as soldiers fanatically loyal to the Nazi party - and those afraid of the vengeance their opponents might enact - sought to stave off the end of the regime as long as possible.

Even as it became clear that defeat was inevitable, Hitler and his subordinates determined to fight to the bitter end, resulting in a bitter, brutal end to the war. As the Russian tanks crushed the remaining pockets of resistance, the city was turned into a nightmarish dystopia. Pillage, plunder, mass rape and unceasing destruction followed.

In this vivid account, the author covers both German and allied viewpoints, exploring explores the strategies, the battles, the civilian experiences and the personalities involved in this fateful the final days of the Third Reich.

Insightful piece of history, Excellent narration!

I've explored WW2 through books and films, but learning about it from a city's perspective is a fascinating approach and it's pretty well done in this book.

The narrator is superb, and the pacing felt balanced. The level of detail is incredible, considering the book's length, although it may be overwhelming for those who are not into historical non-fiction. I'd recommend taking breaks between chapters.

I'd love a similar book on WW1 – perhaps a companion piece? :)

Great narration!

Clear and crisp narrator. Decent story, but perhaps I’m not as much into history as I thought.
