«The End: Hitler's Germany, 1944-45» is Ian Kershaw's historical essay on the final months of the Third Reich, published by Allen Lane in hardback (500 pages, in English).
The work focuses on how and why Nazi Germany resisted until the end of the Second World War: between the failed assassination attempt on Hitler in July 1944 and the surrender of May 1945, the regime continued fighting with extreme violence while the Allies advanced and bombing destroyed German cities.
The book examines from the collapse on the western and eastern fronts to the terror imposed on the German population itself, and asks why there was no negotiated capitulation. It won the Leipzig Book Prize 2012.
Recommended for readers of military and contemporary history interested in the Second World War, Nazism and the causes of the regime's final obstinacy.
Sir Ian Kershaw is an English historian whose work has chiefly focused on the social history of 20th-century Germany. He is regarded by many as one of the world's foremost experts on Nazi Germany and noted for his biography of Adolf Hitler.
