Book Reviews of Endgame, 1945: The Missing Final Chapter of World War II
Book Review: Descriptive end of the Nazi regime...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've found many similarities between this book and Antony Beevor's haunting tome "The Fall of Berlin 1945". Although "Endgame 1945" ups the ante and surpasses Beevor with its far richer character development. I've found it to be profoundly moving and an accurate witness to the unimaginable horrors created in the death throes of the Third Reich.
Summary of Endgame, 1945: The Missing Final Chapter of World War II
To end a history of World War II at VE Day is to leave the tale half told. While the war may have seemed all but over by Hitler's final birthday (April 20),ENDGAME 1945 highlights the gripping personal stories of nine men and women, ranging from soldiers to POWs to war correspondents, who witnessed firsthand the Allied struggle to finish the terrible game at last. Through their ground-level movements, Stafford traces the elaborate web of events that led to the war's real resolution: the deaths of Hitler and Mussolini, the liberation of Buchenwald and Dachau, and the Allies' race with the Red Army to establish a victors' foothold in Europe, to name a few. From Hitler's April decision never to surrender to the start of the Potsdam Conference,
Narrative history at its most compelling, ENDGAME 1945 is the riveting story of three turbulent months that truly shaped the modern world.
