The Fall of Berlin 1945
by Antony BeevorAcclaimed for his vivid re-creations of some of the twentieth century's most significant battles, Antony Beevor is one of the best known and respected military historians writing today. He now offers readers a gripping, street-level portrait of the harrowing days of January 1945 in Berlin when the vengeful Red Army and beleaguered Nazi forces clashed for a final time. The result was the most gruesome display of brutality in the war, with tanks crushing refugee columns, mass rapes, pillage, and destruction. Hundreds of thousands of German civilians froze to death or were massacred because Nazi officials had forbidden their evacuation. Hitler, half crazed in his bunker, issued wild orders while Stalin was prepared to risk any number of his men to seize the city before the other Allies could get there. Making full use of newly disclosed material from former Soviet files as well as from German, American, British, French, and Swedish archives, Beevor has reconstructed the different experiences of those millions caught up in the death throes of the Third Reich. The Fall of Berlin 1945 depicts not only the brutality and desperation of a city under siege but also rare moments of extreme humanity and heroism. This account also contains new revelations about the motives behind Stalin's hurried assault. Sure to appeal to all readers interested in military history and the Second World War, The Fall of Berlin 1945 promises to be the definitive treatment of the subject for years to come.

She can never go to school, make friends, or get the eye implants that will mark her as a true member of Eden. Hidden by her family for sixteen years, she recklessly escapes for what she swears will be only one night of adventure. Though she finds an exotic world, and even a friend, the night leads to tragedy and forces Rowan to become a renegade on the run. In Elites of Eden, she discovers there is more to her destiny than merely running and hiding. Her fate is mysteriously tied to Yarrow—an elite: rich, regal, and intended for greatness. Rowan’s life is one wild party after another in Eden…until she meets a fascinating, lilac-haired girl named Lark. When these two girls discover the thread that binds them together, the collision of memories means that their lives may change drastically—and that Eden may never be the same. In the unforgettable finale Rebels of Eden, Rowan is finally in Harmonia—a sustainable commune in the wilderness she always thought was dead. She may be safe, but she’s determined to rescue the loved ones she left behind. Though her friends are in terrible danger, her pleas for help are ignored until a shocking reminder of her past pushes her to infiltrate Eden. What she discovers is even worse than the situation she left behind. In the chaos of civil war, Rowan and her friends join forces with the second children and other rebels trapped inside. They fight for their lives, and for the fate of humanity in this broken Earth.
