Armageddon

The Battle for Germany 1944-45

De: Max Hastings

Narrado por: John Sessions

In this compelling study Max Hastings addresses the big human and military questions. Why did the Allies not win the war in 1944, when they were vastly stronger than the Germans? Why did the Russians produce the best generals? What was it like to fight the British, American, German and Soviet armies?

Armageddon embraces the fates of more than a hundred million people, from the tragic teenage fanatics who died in the ruins of Hitler's Reich to the British 'Tommies' who simply yearned to finish a painful job and go home. Few books on the Second World War have so vividly brought together the story of the battlefields, east and west, with the decisions of the generals and the impact of great events upon ordinary soldiers and civilians.

Some Parts of the Book Left Out

The narrator is great. He kept my attention the whole time. Having read the book, a lot of parts in the book have been left out. I wish that could have been added. Max Hastings has alway made great books about wars. Lastly, this is for some reason not for sale in US Audible stores. Please make it available everywhere.

Armageddon

When the civilisation collapsed. A superbly written, vivid overview of the final campaigns of the Second World War.
