Battle for Berlin: End of the Third Reich (Ballantine's Illustrated History of World War II: Battle Book No. 6)

160 pp. "No city in modern history has borne more eloquent testimony to the tenuous nature of warlike alliances than Berlin. At the moment when the American chiefs-of-staff began to concentrate on a military victory to the war in Europe, and ignore the political consequences of the outcome, the seeds were sown for a conflict of potentially greater moment than the one which was even then coming to an end."
