Description
The final volume in a highly acclaimed trilogy about the Western front in World War Two. Fire & Steel covers the war's final 100 days, from late January 1945 to May 8th, 1945, when the German high command surrendered unconditionally to all Allied forces. In these final months, the Allied progress was inexorable, with Eisenhower's seven armies taking on Germany's seven armies, town by town, bridge by bridge. The war's climax is marked by key events such as the capture of the Ludendorff Railway Bridge at Remagen, the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, and the taking of Munich on Hitler's birthday, April 20th. The book concludes with the return of prisoners, demobilization of servicemen, and the beginning of the occupation of Germany, bringing a triumphant end to one of the most distinguished works of military history of this generation.
