A brilliant reconstruction of the Third Reich's final collapse, and the millions of people caught up in The Red Army's brutal desire to avenge Nazi atrocities, now published in B format paperback for the first time. New editions of )Stalingrad( and )Paris After The Liberation( by Antony Beevor are also published this month. The Red Army had much to avenge when it finally reached the frontiers of the Reich in January 1945. Political instructors rammed home the message of Wehrmacht and SS brutality. The result was the most terrifying example of fire and sword ever known, with tanks crushing refugee columns under their tracks, mass rape, pillage and destruction.
