Named Book of the Year by the Sunday Times, TLS, Spectator, Sunday
Telegraph, Daily Mail and Scotland on Sunday, Ian Kershaw's The End
is a searing account of the final months of Nazi Germany, laying
bare the fear and fanaticism that drove a nation to destruction. In
almost every major war there comes a point where defeat looms for
one side and its rulers cut a deal with the victors, if only in an
attempt to save their own skins. In Hitler's Germany, nothing of
this kind happened: in the end the regime had to be stamped out
town by town with an almost unprecedented level of brutality. Just
what made Germany keep on fighting? Why did its rulers not cut a
deal to save their own skins? And why did ordinary people continue
to obey the Fuhrer's suicidal orders, with countless Germans
executing their own countrymen for desertion or defeatism? 'Nuanced
and sophisticated ... undoubtedly a masterpiece' - Mail on Sunday
'Gripping yet scholarly ... the best attempt by far to answer the
complex question of why Nazi Germany carried on fighting to total
self-destruction' - Antony Beevor, Telegraph 'Masterly ...
Kershaw's gripping and boldly intelligent work of scholarship ...
will surely become the standard account of the Nazi system's
terrible final phase' - Financial Times 'Brilliant ... utterly
terrifying' - Sunday Times, Books of the Year
