Armageddon forteller om den andre verdenskrig - slik virkelig krig er - da tyskerne ble presset fra skanse til skanse både fra øst og vest i krigens siste fase. Max Hastings tar leserne med ut på slagmarken og ned i skyttergravene! Her skildres slagene ved Arnhem og Bulge - og de russiske styrkers blodige ferd mot Berlin. Hastings stiller - etter å ha intervjuet 170 tidsvitner og gransket arkiver i flere land - også de ubehagelige spørsmålene: Hvem hadde ansvaret for at de allierte ikke vant krigen i 1944? Hvorfor hadde russerne de beste generalene? Dette er militærhistorie på sitt beste! Mange vil bli overrasket over å lese denne boken - som er spennende og godt skrevet.
