À propos de cet audio
A dramatic countdown of the final months of World War II in Europe, The Last 100 Days brings to life the waning power and theultimate submission of the Third Reich. To reconstruct the tumultuous hundreddays between Yalta and the fall of Berlin, John Toland traveled more than 100,000 miles in twenty-one countries and interviewed more than six hundred people - from Hitler's personal chauffeur to Generals von Manteuffel, Wenck, andHeinrici; from underground leaders to diplomats; from top Allied fieldcommanders to brave young GIs. Toland adeptly wove together these interviewsusing research from thousands of primary sources.
When it was first published, The Last 100 Days madehistory, revealing after-action reports, staff journals, and top-secretmessages and personal documents previously unavailable to historians. Sincethat time it has come to be regarded as one of the greatest historicalnarratives of the twentieth century.

Very informative
This is one of the best books on World War II that I have read. The war was so immense that it’s hard to wrap one’s mind around its entirety, yet to focus on an aspect is to leave so much out. It’s also hard to grasp events in a timeline, in relationship to each other. What I liked about this book was its focus on the last 100 days (a definitive time period), in Europe (a large but distinct region). The other aspect I appreciated was the attention given to the Yalta Conference. For some reason, unclear to me, very few books cover this, so I’m always looking to learn more. It was very well covered in this book. There was also a lot of detail on Hitler’s final day, creation of the United Nations, the timing of Roosevelt’s death, the scramble of communications when the surrender was agreed to, and the coordination (or lack thereof) of the official announcement. Not too dry. Definitely time well spent.
