Beschreibung

In Armageddon, one of Britain's most highly regarded historians tells the epic story of the bloody last eight months of the war in Europe.

In 1944 German forces suffered catastrophic defeats during the battles for Holland and the German border. Yet in the following weeks the ailing Wehrmacht was able to achieve one of the greatest military feats of the Second World War. The Germans regrouped, transformed their activities and somehow found the strength to halt the seemingly inexorable Allied advance in its tracks, prolonging the war into 1945.

Drawing on fascinating individual experiences, Max Hasting's masterly account provides a fresh and gripping insight into the final twists and turns of the war, revealing how Europe's fate hung in the balance until the bitter end.
