'Such pace, drama and immediacy that one could almost believe he had been an eye-witness' - The Spectator

In this compelling reconstruction, Joachim Fest, Germany's greatest historian of Nazism describes in vivid detail the claustrophobic atmosphere of the Fuhrer's bunker during the bitter last days of the war when, drugged and enfeebled, Hitler veered between hysterical despair and lunatic optimism while his regime disintegrated amid desperate acts of betrayal, recrimination and suicide.
