  An outstanding and absorbing exposition of the upheaval and recrimination that overwhelmed the city in the wake of Nazi occupation. Exploring all strata of society and every strand of everyday life, the authors provide a lively and enjoyable account.

  Stalingrad by Antony Beevor

  Price: £9.99    Add to Basket

  First published in 1998, Beevor's account of this monstrous siege is simply masterful. Unflinching in its detail, unsurpassed in its rigour, this is a superb work of narrative history.

• 

  The Battle for Spain: The Spanish Civil War 1936-1939 by Antony Beevor

  Price: £12.99    Add to Basket

  Published in 2007 but written before the author made his name with such classics as 'Stalingrad' and 'Berlin', Beevor's account of the Spanish conflict is erudite and compelling, if at times a touch overwhelming in its scholarly depth. Best tackled by those wanting something more complex than Orwell.

• 

  Berlin: The Downfall 1945 by Antony Beevor

  Price: £9.99    Add to Basket

  In 1945 Hitler's Reich was on its knees as the Red Army rampaged through Berlin. Beevor's peerless account of those days is harrowing, compelling, powerfully told and utterly brilliant.

• 

  D-Day by Antony Beevor

  Price: £8.99    Add to Basket

  Usual gripping stuff from this massively popular historian. Authoritative and yet filled with the kind of personal details which make history come alive.

• 

  The Second World War by Antony Beevor

  Price: £25.00    Add to Basket

  A sweeping, magisterial study of the disaster that enveloped the world between 1939 and 1945. A conflict almost impossible to grasp in its immensity is captured by Beevor with unrivalled skill, and is woven into a sparkling narrative that conveys the very nature of war and its human casualties.
