Berlin, the Downfall 1945 by Anthony Beevor |
Reviewed in BWL back in 2002 this book has only now come to my attention. Timely? Beevor compellingly combines military history with personal accounts, weaving a complex tapestry of Germany during the last six months of WWII. Rape, destruction, columns of refugees and of course, uncountable deaths. Horribly familiar? What I ask is how can it be that the deranged mentality of one man (Hitler, Stalin, Mao, now Putin) plunges millions into appalling suffering? No answer expected!
