International Acclaim for After Hitler
“Michael Jones has described the death agonies of Nazism in an excellent, vivid and often moving narrative… He has deftly blended stories of great events and the great figures who shaped them with the experiences of the myriad men and women who carried out their orders. There is room too for the sufferings of millions of bewildered and frightened German refugees and displaced former slave workers endeavoring to return home.”—The Times of London
“[After Hitler is an] excellent new study of the death throes of the Third Reich. It is, at once, a tale of heroism and barbarism; of overwhelming triumph and abysmal defeat; of refugees and revenge; of a nightmare shattered and emerging hopes of a better future…. This is the best book of its genre since John Toland wrote The Last 100 Days.”—The Australian
“Ambitious… Michael Jones has woven together the many stories of those terrible ten days in a most compelling fashion.”—The Spectator
“Jones—a master of the vignette—provides an effective retelling of the story. Using an impressive selection of eyewitness accounts, he skips across Europe in that last week of the war—from Reims to Lüneburg, Prague to Flensburg—giving an engaging, lively summary of events.”—BBC History
“Admirable… the book’s strength lies in Jones’ well-crafted account of the complex negotiations over the pace, manner, and location of the surrender.”—Foreign Affairs
“[A] compact and well-written history of a period that is often neglected.”—The American Spectator
