The final volume in one of the most acclaimed works of military history of this generation.Here is Peter CaddickAdams' third volume in his trilogy about the final year of the Western front in World War Two. Fire & Steel covers the war's final 100 daysbeginning in late January 1945 and continuing until May 8th, 1945, when the German high command surrendered unconditionally to all Allied forces. CaddickAdams' previous two volumes in the acclaimed seriesSand & Steel, which covers the invasion of Normandy in June 1944, and Snow & Steel, the definitive study of the Battle of the Bulge, the German's final offensive in the warhave set the stage for this concluding volume.In these final months of World War Two, all of Germany is ablaze, from daily bombing runs launched from just across its borders and incessant artillery fire from the east. In the west, the Allied progress was inexorable, with Eisenhower's seven armies taking on Germany's seven armies, town by town, bridge by bridge. With his customary narrative verve and utter mastery of the material, CaddickAdams does these climactic final months full justice, from the capture of the Ludendorff Railway Bridge at Remagen, to the liberation of the BergenBelsen concentration camp, to the taking of Munich on Hitler's birthday, April 20th, and through to VE Day. Fire & Steel ends with the return of prisoners, demobilization of servicemen, and the beginning of the occupation of Germany.A triumphant concluding volume to one of the most distinguished works of military history of this generation.
