Book description
In the final months of World War Two, the Western Allies close in on
the last prize of the war - Berlin. One question burns in the mind of
every soldier, and in the hearts of the Allied leaders: who will take
Berlin? On the Western front, Roosevelt and Eisenhower confront their
counterparts, Churchill and Montgomery, over who will lead the thrust
into the Nazi capital. In the East, Josef Stalin's armies advance
ruthlessly towards their moment of vengeance. The End of War is an epic
novel of courage, combat and cunning at the highest levels of history,
portraying the race for Berlin through a myriad of perspectives:
Churchill, Stalin, Roosevelt, an American photojournalist in the
vanguard of the action, a Soviet soldier busted to a punishment brigade,
and a female cellist under the bombs in doomed Berlin.
