The story is told through the lives of a core cast of characters, including a glamorous aristocrat, a Special Operations agent, a German SS officer, a Jewish housewife who negotiated with Adolf Eichmann and a Hungarian woman trying to keep her family alive. Drawing on original research in Hungarian, German and English, and first-hand accounts, diaries, interviews and archives, 'The Last Days of Budapest' is a vivid, dramatic and moving account of the slow death of a cosmopolitan and beautiful European city and its eventual liberation. Adam LeBor brings the skills of a thriller writer to this spellbinding work of narrative history.
