Sublime visceral writing that is so authentic you can almost taste the brick dust from the bombed buildings, and smell the corpses under the rubble.

This is an important book, and one not solely concerned with the machinations of the world leaders as the Third Reich fell. Beevor is as interested with the people hiding in the cellars, just as much as he is with the ones hiding in the bunkers.

If you have a passing interest in WW2, read this book.

The book is peppered with lots of subjective accounts and fails to demonstrate convincing facts and figures. I have also felt that it was negatively biased towards Russians

Cuidado, libro estrictamente histórico, muy útil para los que somos historiadores pero no es una novela, de hecho es sumamente árido.

Not for the faint of heart. There are frequent passages which detail the mass rape of German women by the Red Army, which are stomach turning.
