Antony Beevor reconstructs the last great European battle of the Second World War and the harrowing agony of the Third Reich. With rigorous documentary techniques similar to those used in Stalingrad, but with greater epic scope and more political density, Beevor combines an extraordinary talent as a military man and historian with uncommon narrative skills to describe the complexity of the great military operations and the logic of the decisions of its commanders, as well as the feelings of ordinary people caught in a whirlwind of fire and shrapnel. It describes Hitler's despair, Stalin's desire for revenge, Guderian's impotence or Zhukov's cunning, but also the paradoxical innocence of children playing war with wooden swords in the middle of their houses destroyed by bombs or the disgust and resentment of women brutally raped by Soviet soldiers while SS fanatics execute anyone who dares to wave a white flag.
Sir Antony James Beevor is a British military historian. He has published several popular historical works, mainly on the Second World War, the Spanish Civil War, and most recently the Russian Revolution and the Russian Civil War.
