"Fascinating....Bessel does an excellent job of evoking the blasted
landscape of a conquered Germany."
--The New Yorker
"A sober yet powerful account."
--New York Times Book Review
Authoritative and dramatic, Germany 1945 by distinguished British
historian Richard Bessel is groundbreaking history that brilliantly
explores the devastation and remarkable rebirth of Germany at the end of
World War II. Called "a masterly account by a first rate historian," by
Ian Kershaw (Hitler), Germany 1945 is sure to become the definitive
work on the subject.
