'As a military historian Max Hastings has few equals' - The Times Literary Supplement

In Armageddon, one of Britain's most highly regarded historians tells the epic story of the bloody last eight months of the war in Europe.

In 1944 German forces suffered catastrophic defeats during the battles for Holland and the German border. Yet in the following weeks the ailing Wehrmacht was able to achieve one of the greatest military feats of the Second World War. The Germans regrouped and found the strength to halt the seemingly inexorable Allied advance, prolonging the war in 1945.

Drawing on original research and fascinating individual experiences, Max Hastings' masterly account provides a fresh and gripping insight into the final twists and turns of the war, revealing how Europe's fate hung in the balance until the bitter end.
