Bloody Streets The Soviet Assault on Berlin April 1945
Not another book on the Battle of Berlin some readers may say ? This book Bloody Streets,The Soviet Assualt on Berlin April 1945,sets the standard of all previous works before it and still nothing has been published since that comes near it.
This large format book written by Stephan Hamilton describes The Battle of Berlin in 1945 using lots of new material that was unused by Cornielius Ryan in his book The Last Battle which was published way back in 1966.Stephan Hamilton creates a rich text that demonstrates a excellent tactical understanding of the fighting in and around Berlin in 1945.The text has lots of accounts from the participants and a large section at the back of the book is accounts from Germans who tried to escape Berlin after the surrender in May, 1945.What makes this book unique is the use of areial imagery to demonstrate the progress of the fighting in the City.The book is also lavishly illustrated with hundreds of photographs many never seen before.
Anyone who has an interest in WW2 or The Batlle of Berlin,this is a must have book

Too bad it is out-of-print and the volumes I saw were priced from £289 - £481.

Guys don't spend lots of cash on this book now, as I have spoke to the publisher and they are issuing a rewritten version of the book in 2014-15 over two volumes. I would wait it out and save a lot of cash.

Re: Bloody Streets The Soviet Assault on Berlin April 1945
In 2009 I paid $73.00 for this book.
It is a large book size 9 x 12 and 403 pages.
Weight quite a bit about 5 lbs.
Will there be new information in the two new books or just
making two books out of this large one?
