A dramatic countdown of the final months of World War II in Europe, The Last 100 Days brings to life the waning power and the ultimate submission of the Third Reich. To reconstruct the tumultuous hundred days between Yalta and the fall of Berlin, John Toland traveled more than 100,000 miles in twenty-one countries and interviewed more than six hundred people—from Hitler’s personal chauffeur to Generals von Manteuffel, Wenck, and Heinrici; from underground leaders to diplomats; from top Allied field commanders to brave young GIs. Toland adeptly weaves together these interviews using research from thousands of primary sources.

When it was first published, The Last 100 Days made history, revealing after-action reports, staff journals, and top-secret messages and personal documents previously unavailable to historians. Since that time, it has come to be regarded as one of the greatest historical narratives of the twentieth century.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Fascinating . . . The narrative shifts from scene to intimate scene of every conference room . . . from liberated camp to Hitler’s underground bunker, to GIs storming the railroad bridge across the Rhine. . . . Toland has woven the tapestry of history.” —Chicago Tribune

“A hundred stories fill out these hundred days—portraits, battle plans, ironies, feats of espionage, mass brutalities, insanity, diplomats, generals, soldiers, snipers, the cool and the fanatic. Hitler’s horoscope, what General Eisenhower was reading on the morning of surrender, Quisling’s final auto ride, orders,
counterorders, impatient statesmen, conflicting strategies, the stench of fire and death, telegrams to Moscow, plunging armies, straggling refugees. . . . In fascinating and exhaustively researched detail—it is all here!” —The New York Times

“Brilliant . . . The reader is in suspense throughout. . . . Each scene is played out close-up and point-blank, as if one were there, listening to the dialogue, counting the stakes, feeling the emotions of the principals.” —The New York Times Book Review

What an enlightining story. As the son of a ...

ByCharles Hymanon September 1, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

What an enlightining story. As the son of a prisoner of war in Germany for the last 9 months ,this book answered some questions . As often happened my father never ever spoke about it. The only thing we new were the pictures of an 88 lbs air man he was when he got home. The world went crazy ! We were raised with fear of the Germans. My father was a ball turret gunner in a B-17 shot down on his 24th mission. The few stories about their treatment by the Nazis were frighting.

The last 100 days were still hard fought on both sides

Byjohnnon August 30, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I was a nine-year-old during the last 100 days. I was obsessed with the war in Europe and the Pacific; I had assumed that after the Battle of the Bulge that the war in Europe was essentially over. John Toland's :Last 100 Days has proved me wrong; I had not realized that Hitler was a ghost of his former self and that there was still considerable support for the war among his staff. An absorbing account of the final days of WWII in Europe

Read it again

Bykoson February 4, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Read this book about 40 years ago. I love reading WW2 history. Gives in detail what he thought happen after much research and interviews. There was one part at the end of when Himmler went to Admiral Doenitz to offer his services to be part of the new government. When I read that part thought I lost my space but then checked back it was almost word for word with the book Five Days That Shook the World. so the info should be correct. interesting read

Toland did an excellent job researching

ByD. A. Olingeron September 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

One of the first books about WW2 I read as a teenager thirty years ago. The first hand accounts left a lasting impression on me about the brutality of war. Toland did an excellent job researching, interviewing, and putting it all together into this excellent book. A must have for a WW2 buff and I'm happy to buy this for another read.

Rewarding for connecting the details.

ByJackon May 6, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The detail is astounding. Toland makes the reader fell like he is standing beside the person being quoted as the story is being told.
I hate to give 5 star ratings but Toland deserves them all. It is no mystery why he got a Pulitzer in 1975, although it was for his book on Japan--
His wife was Japanese so was extremely helpful, I am sure, in the research of that book. My interest is more about Germany and WWII so this book does a great job of tying together the many details of events in the last 100 days in Germany.

Highly detailed and researched end of WWII history - but some flaws.

ByGreen Horneton April 1, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in WWII history. I enjoyed it, but the one thing that put me off was that with some regularity the authored gets bogged down into unnecessarily excruciating detailed descriptions. When I hit these spots, I just hurried over it and skipped ahead.

First-person accounts by everyday soldiers present details and perspectives often overlooked.

ByReid Mooreon April 27, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

My father fought in WWII and has read many books on the war. He liked this one especially for the "common man" interviews and perspectives, which round out and humanize the information presented in "birdseye"/30,000-feet tracts he's read.
