Last Train From Berlin: An Eye-Witness Account of Germany at War
reviewed on + 286 more book reviews


reading like a real-life thriller, this unique account of the rise of Hitler acted as a clarion call to England and America when it was first published in 1942. This is Howard K. Smiths eyewitness account describing the physical, emotional and psychological manipulation of the German people by Hitler, Goebbels and their lackeys. His observations at close hand of the German high command, and particularly of Hitler himself, are frightening and profound.
