About the Author:
CORNELIUS RYAN (1920-1974) was born in Dublin. He became one of the preeminent war correspondents of his time, flying fourteen bombing missions with the Eighth and Ninth US Air Forces and covering the D-day landings and the advance of General Patton's Third Army across France and Germany. After the end of hostilities in Europe, he covered the Pacific War. In addition to his classic works The Longest Day, The Last Battle, and A Bridge Too Far, he is the author of numerous other books, which have appeared throughout the world in nineteen languages. Awarded the Legion of Honor by the French government in 1973, he was hailed at that time by Malcolm Muggeridge as ''perhaps the most brilliant reporter now alive.''

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Other than a bit of spine curl this ia a tight and unmarked copy-The Battle for Berlin was the culminating struggle of WWII in Europe, the last offensive against Hitler's 3rd Reich, which devastated one of Europe's historic capitals & marked the final defeat of Nazi Germany. It was also one of the war's bloodiest & most pivotal battles, whose outcome would shape international politics for decades to come. The Last Battle is Ryan's compelling account of this final battle, a story of brutal extremes, of stunning military triumph alongside the stark conditions that the civilians of Berlin experienced in the face of the Allied assault. As always, Ryan delves beneath the military & political forces that were dictating events to explore the more immediate imperatives of survival, where, as the author describes it, "to eat had become more important than to love, to burrow more dignified than to fight, to exist more militarily correct than to win." The Last Battle is the story of ordinary people, soldiers & civilians, caught up in the despair, frustration & terror of defeat. It's history at its best, a masterful illumination of the effects of war on the lives of individuals & one of the enduring works on WWII.
