Dobbs (
Down with Big Brother; One Minute to Midnight) here offers a meticulous presentation and analysis of one of the most critical half-years in world history. From February to August 1945, two Big Three conferences were held, Nazi death camps were discovered, Adolf Hitler committed suicide, World War II ended on the European front, Europe melted clumsily into spheres of influence (beginning the Cold War), U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt died and was succeeded by Harry Truman, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was defeated, the atom bomb was dropped on Japan, and the list goes on. Bob Walter's deliberate, gravelly voice somehow manages to add gravitas to events that already had all the gravity they needed.
VERDICT This book is the final installment in Dobbs's important "Cold War Trilogy" and will be snapped up by academic and public libraries.
