Publisher Synopsis
"Masterful. . . . Evans demonstrates a fluent style and a sweeping grasp of the Third Reich's history and of the enormous historical literature. . . . Evans narrates the Reich's end in gripping fashion as the Allies closed in on Germany. Evans's fellow historians as well as a broader public will read this work, not quite with pleasure, for there is little joy in this story, but with admiration for the author's narrative powers."
