This is a fascinating insight into the unseen realm of Hitler's remote headquarters. Whilst the narration narrows the field of view, remaining virtually locked behind the barbed wire entanglements of Hitler's headquarters, it does reveal with overwhelming effect how the war was directed, and the military decisions that ultimately brought about Germany's demise. The author was determined to reveal life behind closed doors, and to show both sides to Hitler's character, where he was often seen gossiping affably with his associates and planning the war with his Generals. But as defeat rapidly intensified the process of life, he began surrounding himself not with his intimate circle of friends, but with what he considered were illiterate soldiers. The book is undoubtedly a compelling account of Hitler's wartime headquarters, presenting a uniquely panoramic portrait of Hitler and the men and women who lived their lives out for him.
