Based on an impressive range of sources, Endgame describes how Stalin''s armies shattered the Wehrmacht in Operation Bagration in 1944. It was these victories, not the Western ''betrayal'' at Yalta, which gained him effective control over post-war Eastern Europe. It''s a story too little known, and Dimbleby tells it brilliantly.>

Report

Titanic . . . This book is his best yet . . . For all their popularity, many books about the world wars are immensely boring and inelegantly written. Dimbleby's work is in a different league, told with such skill and judgment that, despite the harrowing subject, it is still a pleasure to read. As in all good narrative histories, it is the human details that linger in the mind. Dominic Sandbrook Sunday Times
