What the Press are Saying

"Moorhouse’s book remedies that gap [in history of The Polish War], weaving together archival material, first-hand accounts, perceptive analysis and heartbreaking descriptions of Poland’s betrayal, defeat and dismemberment”
Roger Moorhouse: Historian and author
"Moorhouse ... admirably achieves his aim of putting the Polish-German war back onto the broader canvas of the Second World War"
History Today Book Review
"Roger Moorhouse's measured, sympathetic book offers a fascinating corrective to that Anglocentric perspective... After reading this thorough and engaging book you'll never be able to watch a war film or even a World Cup football match in quite the same way"
Daily Mail Book Review
"Moorhouse's evocative social history of Hitler's capital brings all these aromas together, along with the sights, sounds, thoughts and feelings of the ordinary Germans who lived here"
Daily Telegraph Book Review
"A highly enjoyable history written with verve and attention to detail"
Financial Times Book Review
"Authoritative and highly readable"
The Times Book Review
"A comprehensive introduction to the history of Hitler's Germany. Very highly recommended.”
Roger Moorhouse: Historian and author
