Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
[G]Ripping, Immaculately Researched . . . In Mr. Ullrichs Account, The Murderous Behavior Of The Reichs Lastditch Loyalists Was Not A Reaction Born Of Rage Or Of Stubbornness In The Face Of Defeatcommon Enough In Warbut Of Something That Had Long Ago Tipped Over Into The Pathological. Andrew Stuttaford, Wall Street Journalthe Bestselling Author Of Hitler: Ascent And Hitler: Downfall Reconstructs The Chaotic, Otherworldly Last Days Of Nazi Germany.In A Bunker Deep Below Berlins Old Reich Chancellery, Adolf Hitler And His New Bride, Eva Braun, Took Their Own Lives Just After 3:00 P.M. On April 30, 1945Hitler By Gunshot To The Temple, Braun By Ingesting Cyanide. But The Fhrers Suicide Did Not Instantly End Either Nazism Or The Second World War In Europe. Far From It: The Eight Days That Followed Were Among The Most Traumatic In Modern History, Witnessing Not Only The Final Paroxysms Of Bloodshed And The Frantic Surrender Of The Wehrmacht, But The Total Disintegration Of The Oncemighty Third Reich.In Eight Days In May, The Awardwinning Historian And Hitler Biographer Volker Ullrich Draws On An Astonishing Variety Of Sources, Including Diaries And Letters Of Ordinary Germans, To Narrate A Societys Descent Into Hobbesian Chaos. In The Town Of Demmin In The North, Residents Succumbed To Madness And Committed Mass Suicide. In Berlin, Soviet Soldiers Raped German Civilians On A Nearunprecedented Scale. In Nazioccupied Prague, Czech Insurgents Led An Uprising In The Hope That General George S. Patton Would Come To Their Aid But Were Brutally Put Down By German Units In The City. Throughout The Remains Of Third Reich, Huge Numbers Of People Were On The Move, Creating A Surrealistic Tableau: Death Marches Of Concentrationcamp Inmates Crossed Paths With Retreating Wehrmacht Soldiers And Groups Of Refugees; Columns Of Pows Encountered Those Of Liberated Slave Laborers And Bombedout People Returning Home. A Taut, Propulsive Narrative, Eight Days In May Takes Us Inside The Phantomlike Regime Of Hitlers Chosen Successor, Admiral Karl Dnitz, Revealing How The Desperate Attempt To Impose Order Utterly Failed, As Frontline Soldiers Deserted And Nazi Party Fanatics Called On German Civilians To Martyr Themselves In A Last Stand Against Encroaching Allied Forces. In Truth, However, The Posthitler Government Represented Continuity More Than Change: Its Leaders Categorically Refused To Take Responsibility For Their Crimes Against Humanity, An Attitude Typical Not Just Of The Nazi Elite But Also Of Large Segments Of The German Populace. The Consequences Would Be Severe. Eight Days In May Is Not Only An Indispensable Account Of The Nazi Endgame, But A Historic Work That Brilliantly Examines The Costs Of Mass Delusion. 20 Illustrations
