Includes Index
Part one : The great offensive. Floodtide East --
Five minutes before midnight --
This may well be a fateful conference --
Bread for bread, blood for blood! --
Judge Roosevelt approves --
The Balkan cockpit --
Operation Thunderclap --
War and peace --
Part two : Drive from the West. An iron curtain will go down --
Ebb and flow --
What if it blows up in my face? --
I am fighting for the work of the Lord --
Operation Sunrise --
The Shell House --
Between two rivers --
We have had a jolly day --
Task Force Baum --
Decision at Rheims --
The Rose Pocket --
Part three : East meets West. O-5 --
Such vile misrepresentations --
Victory in the West --
On the razor's edge --
The Führer is in a state of collapse! --
We must build a new world, a far better world --
Part four : Wingless victory. Pheasant hunt --
An Italian solution --
Death comes to a dictator --
The Chief is dead --
And now you stab us in the back --
The iron curtain in the East moves closer and closer --
Beginning of a long surrender --
The flags of freedom fly all over Europe.
Basing his report on hundreds of interviews with eyewitnesses from 21 countries and on several thousand primary sources, the author relats the military and diplomatic strategy that defeated Nazism and Fascism at the close of World War II. Within the 100 days Rossevelt, Mussolini, and Hitler died. Mr Toland describes them as well as such military leaders as Patton, Montgomery, and Heinrici.
