review 1: This was a very intense book. It covered five days leading up to the end of WW2 with first-person accounts of those who lived through that time, many of them famous then and others who became famous later. I would have given it an extra star, had there been maps included. I am not familiar with German or other European geography, so did not know just where the different towns and cities were located, in relation to what later became East or West Germany. An epilogue at the end gives information about what happened to each of the people in the main part of the book. Some were of course executed, but others became politicians, actresses, well-known media and even a couple of Popes.
review 2: I really liked this historical read about the end of WWII. It's di... morefferent in that you see the end from the point of view of people who later became famous or played important political roles then and in the future. One cool thing, at the back of the book-you're told what happened to each of these people. Some of it I already knew, most I didn't. One hint-while you're reading, if a particular person interests you-check the back to see what happened to them. I realized too late and it would have made the read even better.I am amazed that no matter how much I read about WWII, there is an unending supply of stories that showcase the depravity and the heroism of that war. less
