Second World War

Gilbert, Martin, 1936-1989
Books, Manuscripts
The author traces the war from August 31, 1939--the day before the German invasion of Poland--when ""an unknown prisoner in one of Adolf Hitler's concentration camps, most probably a common criminal"" became the war's first victim, to 1945--and beyond: a final chapter finds, for example, that even in 1989 the ""unfinished business"" of the war still disrupts the volatile politics of West Berlin. In between, major campaigns, political tides, and personalities on both fronts--
