Armageddon tells the story of the climactic months of WW2 and the destruction of Hitler's Germany.   

    Max Hastings has researched archives in four countries and interviewed 170 witnesses to piece together a saga that is at once fascinating military history and the greatest human tragedy  of the twentieth century.

      Some episodes, such as Arnhem and the Battle of the Bulge, are famous, while others, such as the Red Army's drive across East Prussia, which caused at least a million deaths in the 'season of blood and ice', are little known in the West.

       A great account of the last months of the European war.
