Martin Middlebrook has built an international reputation with his books about major turning points in the two World Wars. In this book he describes, month by month and in meticulous detail, the battle for Berlin the longest and most sustained bombing offensive against one target in the Second World War. <p>Bomber Command dispatched nineteen major raids between August 1943 and March 1944 in which more than 10,000 aircraft sorties dropped over 30,000 tons of bombs on Berlin. It was the RAF's supreme attempt to end the war by bombing. But Berlin was not destroyed and the RAF lost more than 600 aircraft and their crews.</p> <p> Martin Middlebrook interviewed over 400 people involved in this battle including the people of Berlin and Luftwaffe crews. He brings together both sides to tell a single, coherent story of the ebb and flow of battle, and the hopes, fear and bravery of the young aircrews in the desperate air battle waged between bombers and night fighters as the Luftwaffe fought to protect Berlin.</p>
