By early 1945, the destruction of the German Nazi State seems certain.
The Allied forces, led by American generals George S. Patton and Dwight
D. Eisenhower, are gaining control of Europe, leaving German leaders
scrambling. Facing defeat, Adolf Hitler flees to a secret bunker with
his new wife, Eva Braun, and his beloved dog, Blondi. It is there that
all three would meet their end, thus ending the Third Reich and one of
the darkest chapters of history.
Hitler's Last Days is a gripping account of the death of one of the
most reviled villains of the 20th century--a man whose regime of murder
and terror haunts the world even today. Adapted from Bill O'Reilly's
historical thriller Killing Patton, this book will have young
readers--and grown-ups too--hooked on history.
This thoroughly-researched and documented book can be worked into
multiple aspects of the common core curriculum.
