I am in the middle of this now this book gives a battle by battle description of the russian advance toward berlin by way of first hand accounts-russian/german & civilan also official reports are used it gives details on how the russians treated civilians shot prisoners and there own released pow's I have read a little about these things in other books limited to first hand witness accounts limited areas. this book brings the whole front in to view. well worth a read.

I read it, too- it actually is not that new. Great way of writing by giving the the picture and many (often gruesome) accounts and details of what happened on the ground. An epic tale of destruction and sad to read about all these horrors.
