About this listen

A dramatic countdown of the final months of World War II in Europe, The Last 100 Days brings to life the waning power and theultimate submission of the Third Reich. To reconstruct the tumultuous hundreddays between Yalta and the fall of Berlin, John Toland traveled more than 100,000 miles in twenty-one countries and interviewed more than six hundred people - from Hitler's personal chauffeur to Generals von Manteuffel, Wenck, andHeinrici; from underground leaders to diplomats; from top Allied fieldcommanders to brave young GIs. Toland adeptly wove together these interviewsusing research from thousands of primary sources.

When it was first published, The Last 100 Days madehistory, revealing after-action reports, staff journals, and top-secretmessages and personal documents previously unavailable to historians. Sincethat time it has come to be regarded as one of the greatest historicalnarratives of the twentieth century.

This may be one of the greatest books about World War 2. Expertly researched, Toland incorporates a variety of different first-hand accounts of people who were involved at various levels. As a result, the listener is able to develop a superb understanding of the experiences of people who lived through the last 100 days. I really enjoyed this book and I thoroughly recommend it.

This book was incredibly thorough - providing details from multiple perspectives. The narrative was strong and coherent which made it compelling listening. The voice provided gravitas and was ready to listen to. Will be re- listening you the whole thing!

Positive: Fascinating story with multiple asides that never feel too low-key or insignificant to tell as part of the bigger story. Negative: The recording quality is all over the place. It feels like an abridged version that was padded out with audio (of lesser quality) that was recorded later. Quite jarring.
