-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the real story of the last year of World War II, a graphic and highly readable accoun t of those final tragedies and triumphs before peace was restored to war-torn Europe.

"We can still lose this war", General Patton confided to his diary on January 4th 1945.

The war seemed to have gone on for ever. The Battle of the Bulge was at the height of its savagery. After six months of bitter fighting, ever since the D-Day landings, the Allied forces were still stalled at the German frontier. No wonder the soldiers were exhausted, dispirited, despairing.

In this powerful sequel to '44: In combat on the Western Front from Normandy to the Ardennes, Charles Whiting has assembled the individual stories -the letters home and private diaries as well the regimental histories and journalists' reports - in order to build up a truly authentic picture of what is what like to be there, to be crossing the Rhine or to be caught in the firestorm of Dresden, to be a victim in the Ardennes or a victor in Hamburg.

Once again Charles Whitling gives us a vivid and dramatic picture of the war in Europe, as seen and related by the ordinary soldiers on both sides - the men in the front line. He recreates their world giving us a picture of how they lived and died; what weapons they fought with; what food they ate; and how they learned to cope with the threat of death and keep alive the hope of victory.
