'Magisterial . . . a fine, balanced and superb account. It deserves to be read for many years to come.' Telegraph
March 1945. Allied troops are poised to cross the Rhine and sweep on into Germany. Victory is at last within their grasp. But if they believe this victory can be easily won, they face swift disillusionment. The final I00 days of the Second World War will prove to be bitterly and bloodily fought, village by village, town by town.
This is the extraordinary and gripping story of those final I00 days.
