The same month saw the Allies triumph on the beaches of Normandy, but, despite the myths that remain, it was the events on the Eastern Front that sealed Hitler's fate and destroyed Nazism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his new book, bestselling historian Jonathan Dimbleby describes and analyses this momentous year, covering the military, political and diplomatic story in his evocative style. Drawing on previously untranslated German, Russian and Polish sources, we see how sophisticated new forms of deception and ruthless Partisan warfare shifted the Soviets’ fortunes, how their triumphs effectively gave Stalin authority to occupy Eastern Europe and how it was the events of 1944 that enabled Stalin to dictate the terms of the post-war settlement, laying the foundations for the Cold War .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Mr. Dimbleby is a sure-footed guide to the labyrinthine military operations along a front line that extended nearly 2,000 miles, from the Baltic to the Black Sea' \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Terrific . a tour de force' \u003c\/b\u003eSir Richard Evans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Military history at its very best' \u003c\/b\u003eKeith Lowe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSunday Time Bestseller, June 2024\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41557426372705,"sku":"9780241536711","price":26.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_32356074.jpg?v=1738305583","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780241536711-endgame-1944","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
