Description

Berlin was the launching pad for Hitler's empire, the embodiment of his vision of a "world metropolis," and the place where the Nazi Reich would ultimately fall. Drawing from diaries, memoirs, and interviews, historian Roger Moorhouse provides a searing firsthand account of life, death, and chaos in wartime Berlin. Though it was the political center of the Reich, Berlin maintained its strong socialist and nonconformist traditions throughout the war, resisting Nazi intolerance in ways large and small. As Moorhouse points out, more Jews survived the holocaust underground in Berlin than anywhere else in Hitler's Reich. "An august contribution to the city-during-a-war genre, worthy to sit along such classics as Margaret Leech's Reveille in Washington and Ernest Furguson's Ashes of Glory."—Kirkus (starred review) "The Berliners' capacity for suffering, for sacrifice, for self-delusion, but also astonishingly for love—and even on occasion humour—is superbly evoked by Moorhouse's cornucopia of new information."—Andrew Roberts
