Description
The Last 100 Days: A Dramatic Countdown to the Fall of Berlin In the final months of World War II in Europe, the Third Reich's power waned, and its ultimate submission loomed. John Toland recounts this tumultuous period with unparalleled detail, drawing on his extensive research and interviews with over six hundred people. Toland traveled extensively, gathering insights from a wide range of individuals, including those close to Hitler and top Allied commanders. By weaving together these accounts, he reconstructs the pivotal hundred days between Yalta and Berlin's fall, providing a unique perspective on this pivotal moment in history. This book is considered one of the greatest historical narratives of the twentieth century, offering a wealth of previously unavailable information, including after-action reports, staff journals, and top-secret messages.
