About this listen
A dramatic countdown of the final months of World War II in Europe, The Last 100 Days brings to life the waning power and theultimate submission of the Third Reich. To reconstruct the tumultuous hundreddays between Yalta and the fall of Berlin, John Toland traveled more than 100,000 miles in twenty-one countries and interviewed more than six hundred people - from Hitler's personal chauffeur to Generals von Manteuffel, Wenck, andHeinrici; from underground leaders to diplomats; from top Allied fieldcommanders to brave young GIs. Toland adeptly wove together these interviewsusing research from thousands of primary sources.
When it was first published, The Last 100 Days madehistory, revealing after-action reports, staff journals, and top-secretmessages and personal documents previously unavailable to historians. Sincethat time it has come to be regarded as one of the greatest historicalnarratives of the twentieth century.

Narrator was excellent. Occasionally the narration was edited to include an additional fact for clarity but once you recognise this it isn't an issue.
Just brilliant.

What made the experience of listening to The Last 100 Days the most enjoyable?
An excellent book covering all aspects of what happened during those momentous last 100 days of Nazi Germany. The authors reference to 100000 dead at Dresden though is factually incorrect. The actual figure has been determined at 25000. His statement that American paratroops fought for the first time since D Day in Operstion Varsity when the Allies crossed the Rhine caused me to wonder. What about Market Garden? The death of, and subsequent lynching, of Mussolini and his mistress was fascinating. The narration by Ralph Cosham was brilliant. All in all an excellent book that is well worth a listen.Informative and fascinating

Informative, Well read,
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
HOWEVER - once again a otherwise enjoyable book is somewhat marred by some strange narration editing and the readers voices changes , often in mid sentence and often for just a few words..
It might be that it’s a sentence in brackets or quotation but to me it sounds as if something was missed out in the original recording . This goes on throughout the book and eventually becomes irratating as it did in another book read by this guy ..
Rather odd editing

It delves in to the political and planning aspects; giving an insight into the main player's ideas, concerns and mind games.
I wish this book never ended, such was Toland's writing style
And as for Cosham; what a beautifully hypnotic voice.
For the first time I found myself looking at other books he's narrated, purely because I love his voice.
This book is a must for those wanting a slightly different perspective on the conflict. I promise you won't regret it.
Not just another war book!
