Fall of Berlin 1945

Acclaimed for his works covering some of the most important wars of the twentieth century, Antony Beevor is one of today's best-known and respected military historians. Using newly obtained documents from old Soviet files as well as German, American, British, French and Swedish archives, Beevor reconstructs the different experiences of millions of people trapped in 'The Fall of Berlin' in 1945, when the Third Reich was in agony. It offers a gripping, street-level portrait of the shocking events of January 1945, when the vengeful Red Army and surrounded Nazi forces clashed for the final time. While it reveals with all its authenticity the hopelessness of a city under brutality and siege, it does not neglect to display rare moments of extraordinary humanity and heroism. Following his book Stalingrad, Antony Beevor causes us to ask the same question once again in The Fall of Berlin 1945. Is there really a "winning" side in war?

"A masterpiece in modern historiography"
-Michael Burleigh, Guardian-

"In Stalingrad, Beevor gave us a gripping account of the important and terrible battle in which Hitler's forces clashed with the Russians. He uses this technique with the same success in The Fall of Berlin, 1945. A soldier's understanding of the realities of war, a novelist's eye for symbolic and emotional details." Beevor paints a terrifying picture..."
-Orlando Figes, Sunday Times-

"Beevor's style contributes to a masterful blend of factual, nuanced narrative and meticulousness. In both categories, we witness a writer at the peak of his art."
-Thomas Kielinger, Die Welt-
