In "Berlin at War," acclaimed historian Roger Moorhouse provides a
magnificent and detailed portrait of everyday life at the epicenter
of the Third Reich. Berlin was the stage upon which the rise and
fall of the Third Reich was most visibly played out. It was the
backdrop for the most lavish Nazi ceremonies, the site of Albert
Speer's grandiose plans for a new "world metropolis," and the scene
of the final climactic battle to defeat Nazism. Berlin was the
place where Hitler's empire ultimately meet its end, but it
suffered mightily through the war as well; not only was the city
subjected to the full wrath of the Soviet ground offensive and
siege in 1945, but it also found itself a prime target for the air
war, attracting more raids, more aircraft, and more tonnage than
any other German city. Combining groundbreaking research with a
gripping narrative, Moorhouse brings all of the complexity and
chaos of wartime Berlin to life. "Berlin at War "is the incredible
story of the city--and people--that saw the whole of this epic
conflict, from start to finish.
