The best account of the fall of Nazi Germany
The Road to Berlin
Still among the best Despite having read many dozens of books on WWII in the intervening years, I was wowed by Toland's account all over again.Toland was a master storyteller, not an academic or military historian as such, and had a novelist's understanding of the illuminating detail, the minor tragedy emblematic of the whole, and the reader's fascination with the character of people acting under the most extreme duress imaginable. Toland weaves together numerous narrative threads of the highest diplomacy (FDR, Churchill, and Stalin at Yalta), the lowest farce (the goings on of Hitler and his bizarre entourage in Hitler's underground bunker), and endless violent encounters -- between enemy forces, and between military forces and the incredible masses of civilians fleeing the fighting or trapped in cities under ferocious bombardment. While the book is populated with the brave and noble, at high levels and low, it is also frequented by monsters, knaves, cowards, innocent victims, and thugs on all sides (though the Germans, of course, were peerless in the scope and cruelty of their barbarities).This is not the place to go if you are looking for "the good war."This book gave me my first deep insight into why my uncle (now deceased, but at the time I first read this book younger than I am now), who had served as a rifleman in the 8th Infantry Division in Europe, seldom could be persuaded to talk about the war. Toland's work was also somewhat unusual, when first published, in its lack of triumphalism.The atmosphere which permeates The Last 100 Days is not that of the impending victory of the good, or the impending defeat of the evil -- although the end of the war in Europe was certainly both -- but of immense tragedy and the dawning awareness that at the end of the war, the world was going to remain an exceedingly dangerous place, as the unnatural marriage of necessity between the Western powers and Stalin's Soviet Union came to an end. Toland's narrative method has been adopted and adapted in other's subsequent works (Toland doubtless borrowed elements of it from others before him as well), but few have been his equal.And having read all of John Toland's several excellent books at one time or another, I am convinced that this book was his best.On the mountain of books on WWII, The Last 100 Days belongs near the top.This book should remain in print for a long time to come because it is great history, powerfully told.
The nazi gov'tis in state of collapse
This Book Details the Final Collapse of the Third Reich For example, author John Toland describesChurchill deliberately taking time, along with Generals Montgomery,Brookes, and Simpson, to publically urinate on a concrete bridge abutmentthat comprised part of the frontiers of the so-called Western Wall dividingHolland from Germany. He also details, with first person reports, thesystematic murderous rampages of the Soviet soldiers, who, unchecked bytheir officers, raped and pillaged their way toward Berlin and the finalvictory over Germany. The main saving grace of the book is its tone,which delivers the mountain of information concerning this finalcoordinated assault at every level in a very simple, straightforward, andexcellently written expository fashion, and he seldom bores the reader.Instead, by bringing it down to the level of the individual participants,he anticipates a whole new wave of later WWII books by highly regardedauthors such as Stephen Ambrose et al that also employ this "first personrecollection" approach to thread together interesting narratives aboutvarious aspects of the war. Toland's narrative helps us to betterunderstand the long- debated issues surrounding the curious slow-down ofAmerican, British and other Allied forces on the western front, whichallowed the Soviets to enter Berlin first, but also forced the Soviets tosuffer the brunt of the extremely high casualty rates at the hands of thefanatically inspired German soldier fighting to save the "Fatherland" fromthe barbarian Russian hordes. It also helps the reader to appreciate theextent to which the Soviets were, in fact, doing the lion's share of toughfighting for a number of years, as the casualty figures tend to support.The numbers of Russians lost dwarfs the losses of Brits, Australians,Americans, Canadians, French, or any other combatants. This is awonderful book, which, although out of print, should be back-ordered, orsought out as a used book, or lent from the library. It is an easy read,and well-written and scholarly tome, and yet was light enough to slidethrough without any of the ponderous language and endless details of otherbooks on the war. I recommend it for any serious student of the secondworld war, and especially for those that want a wide-ranging narrativeregarding the final days and collapse of the ignominious Third Reich.Enjoy! ...
