Description
Victory in the West 1945: The final 100 days of the Second World War were a brutal and bloody fight, with Allied troops facing immense challenges as they crossed the Rhine and swept into Germany. This book brings this closing stage of the Allies' fight against Nazi Germany to life, exploring the immense challenges they faced and the individual acts of resolve and heroism that defined the period.
Acclaimed military historian Peter Caddick-Adams draws on a vast range of memoirs and personal interviews with survivors to give a vivid sense of what it was like to encounter enemy combatants and civilians face to face. He also analyses the strategic decisions made at Allied headquarters, offering pin-sharp portraits of the military leaders who played a crucial role in the final stages of the war.
Compelling and meticulously researched, this book is a standard work on the closing days of the Second World War, offering a fresh perspective on one of the most pivotal periods in modern history.
