Germany 1945: From War to Peace   Richard Bessel
Detailed, informative history of the end of World War II in Germany. Incredible physical and economic destruction, and social, political, and cultural dislocation. The number of deaths is staggering. Poland and Germany were changed completely, and Germany was essentially wiped out. Though the prose is sometimes a little clumsy, doesn’t really detract from the wealth of information. Impressively documented. Enjoyed it and learned a lot.
