The Last Battle

Description

Cornelius Ryan’s account of D-Day, The Longest Day, is still considered the most accurate and gripping account of that phase of the Second World War. In The Last Battle, he turns his attention to the final stages of the War, which began on 16th April 1945, when the Russians attacked Germany. In fourteen days Adolf Hitler would be dead and the War would be over in twenty one days. The Last Battle recounts, in great and bloody detail, those last three weeks when the taking of Berlin became the final obstacle of the ultimately triumphant Allied forces. This is the hardback first edition in good condition.
