review 1: After 3 long, schedule hectic weeks, I am proud to say I have officially completed reading this phenomenal book. At first, I had immediate apprehension reading the book primarily because it was on clearance - an evident indication that the book may be horrible for its lack of interest. I am glad to say, this book boasts of one of the most greatest compositions in the WW2 genre. From Mussolini's death, to Dachau's liberation, to the surrender of Italy, Germany, then to the death of Adolf Hitler, Nicolas Best composes an eloquent, descriptive, and informative book about the vital days of WW2 - the last 5 bays. Through eyewitness accounts, Nicolas is able to captivate the reader through the words of actual eyewitness testimonies that provide a more larger captivating factor t... moreo this book, boasting of the most finest elements. Through my experience with this book, I have realized my over sized complacency in believing this book would be easy to read was a force so weak while reading this book. I found the book to be a perpetual informative book that never seized to impress. With the most delicate of days during the WW2 time, the reader is furthermore provoked by the impressive mediation during these particular events from the eloquent words of the intellectual Nicholas Best. I highly recommend this book... for all who are searching for a great read.
review 2: A seriously awesome book. I've read a lot of books about WWII over the years but this is quite different. The range of characters covered by the book is impressive in itself, but what the book really brings home is just chaotic things were in the last few days of the war. Best's writing brings a light touch to momentous events; he doesn't interfere with too much commentary or analysis, just lets the facts speak for themselves. Highly recommended less

This is an excellent timeline of the last five days of WWII.

This is quite a gossipy take on the last days of the war.
