Author Description

"A remarkable look at the final days of Adolf Hitler, cowritten by the author of the bestselling The Berlin Wall. For the first time, Voices from the Bunker reveals the final chapter in the life of one of history's most infamous figures. Early in 1945, Allied forces advanced across Germany toward Berlin. Refusing to heed the advice of his counselors to flee, Hitler retreated into a heavily fortified bunker under the Chancellery, taking with him his personal retinue, a select group of men and women who were destined to witness the final weeks, days, and hours of the Führer. Enormous mystery has surrounded what actually transpired during the last days. Questions linger - including the central one of whether or not Hitler died there - and a powerful fascination about the events persists. Now we have the whole story. The survivors - among them Hitler's personal secretary, an aide-de-camp, and his personal pilot - offer an intimate portrait of the daily lives of the Führer and his inner circle in the bunker, including the suicides of Hitler, Eva Braun, and Joseph Goebbels and his family." --from inside jacket flap.
