Description: Fire and Steel by Peter Caddick-Adams, Lecturer in Military History Peter Caddick-Adams Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description An account of the blazing final hundred days of World War Two in Europe, bringing to a close Peter Caddick-Adams monumental trilogy of the last year of Allied fighting against the German armies on the Western front. Publisher Description The final volume in one of the most acclaimed works of military history of this generation. Here is Peter Caddick-Adams third volume in his trilogy about the final year of the Western front in World War Two. Fire & Steel covers the wars final 100 days-beginning in late January 1945 and continuing until May 8th, 1945, when the German high command surrendered unconditionally to all Allied forces. Caddick-Adams previous two volumes in the acclaimed series-Sand & Steel, which covers the invasion of Normandy in June 1944, and Snow & Steel, the definitive study of the Battle of the Bulge, the Germans final offensive in the war-have set the stage for this concluding volume. In these final months of World War Two, all of Germany is ablaze, from daily bombing runs launched from just across its borders and incessant artillery fire from the east. In the west, the Allied progress was inexorable, with Eisenhowers seven armies taking on Germanys seven armies, town by town, bridge by bridge. With his customary narrative verve and utter mastery of the material, Caddick-Adams does these climactic final months full justice, from the capture of the Ludendorff Railway Bridge at Remagen, to the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, to the taking of Munich on Hitlers birthday, April 20th, and through to VE Day. Fire & Steel ends with the return of prisoners, demobilization of servicemen, and the beginning of the occupation of Germany. A triumphant concluding volume to one of the most distinguished works of military history of this generation.
