Berlin
£6.89
Berlin: The Downfall 1945" is Antony Beevor's brilliant account of the fall of the Third Reich. The Red Army had much to avenge when it finally reached the frontiers of the Reich in January 1945. Political instructors rammed home the message of Wehrmacht & SS brutality. The result was the most terrifying example of fire & sword ever known with tanks crushing refugee columns under their tracks mass rape pillage & destruction. Hundreds of thousands of women & children froze to death or were massacred because Nazi Party chiefs refusing to face defeat had forbidden the evacuation of civilians. Over seven million fled westwards from the terror of the Red Army. Antony Beevor reconstructs the experiences of those millions caught up in the nightmare of the Third Reich's final collapse telling a terrible story of pride stupidity fanatacism revenge & savagery but also one of astonishing endurance self-sacrifice & survival against all odds. " Fascinating extraordinary gripping". (Jeremy Paxman). " This brilliant storyteller makes us feel the chaos & the fear as if every drop of blood was our own. It is much more than just a humane account; it is compellingly readable deeply researched & beautifully written". (Simon Sebag Montefiore " Spectator"). Antony Beevor began his career as a professional officer in the 11th Hussars. He is the author of several books including " The Spanish Civil War" " Crete" & " The Mystery of Olga Chekhova". With his wife Artemis Cooper he wrote " Paris After the Liberation" but he is best known for his books "D-Day" " Berlin" & " Stalingrad" the international No 1 bestseller & winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize Wolfson Price & Hawthornden Prize. He lives in London & Kent." ...
