April 1945. The mutilated bodies of Mussolini & his mistress hang by their heels in Milan while a hostile crowd whistles & jeers. Desperate to avoid the same fate, Adolf Hitler leaves orders for his own body to be burned after his death. With the Russian Army closing in on Berlin & his world crashing in to flames, Germany s doomed leader would never allow his enemies the satisfaction of desecrating his corpse. This is the story of an immensely exciting few days, but it is also a snapshot of the whole world at the end of an extraordinary week. Nicholas Best tells a compelling tale of the men & women from all around the world who experienced the final chaotic days of World War II. Fast-paced, at times brutal & at others poignant, this page-turner of a book recreates the dying days of the Axis powers as the Allied armies closed in on Berlin.
