The
Fall of Berlin 1945
by Antony Beevor
By December 1944, many of the 3 million citizens of Berlin had stopped
giving the Nazi salute, and jokes circulated that the most practical Christmas
gift of the season was a coffin. And for good reason, military historian
Antony Beevor writes in this richly detailed reconstruction of events in
the final days of Adolf Hitler's Berlin. Following savage years of campaigns
in Russia, the Nazi regime had not only failed to crush Bolshevism, it
had brought the Soviet army to the very gates of the capital. That army,
ill-fed and hungry for vengeance, unloosed its fury on Berlin just a month
later in a long siege that would cost hundreds of thousands of lives on
both sides. But as Beevor recounts, the siege was also marked by remarkable
acts of courage and even compassion. Drawing on unexplored Soviet and German
archives and dozens of eyewitness accounts, Beevor brings us a harrowing
portrait of the battle and its terrible aftermath, which would color world
history for years to follow. --Gregory McNamee Amazon.com
