In almost every major war, a conflict reaches a point where defeat seems imminent for one side. Leaders often try to save their own skin by making a deal with the victors. In the case of Hitler's Germany, however, this never happened: ultimately, the regime had to be destroyed city by city with unprecedented ruthlessness. What drove Germany to fight to the bitter end? Ian Kershaw's compelling and revealing book charts these final months, from the failed assassination attempt on Hitler in July 1944 to the German surrender in May 1945.
