The Closing of the Second World War

Twilight of a Totalitarianism. Edited by David Wingeate Pike.

The book takes an unprecedented approach: the closing of the war from the losing side's point of view. The period discussed spans from January 1945, with the end of Hitler's last hope (the Ardennes counter-offensive), to the Japanese surrender in mid-August. The situation for the Axis is presented by German, Italian, and Japanese historians, and the Allied responses are by British, French, Russian, American, Slovene, and New Zealand scholars.
