Translated widely across the world, Ian Kershaw's award-winning two-volume Penguin biography of Hitler is widely regarded as the definitive work on the megalomaniac Nazi leader. Death in the Bunker offers a compelling account of the final hours of Germany's Third Reich: the oaths and betrayals of the Fuhrer's henchmen, and his ultimate suicide in an underground chamber alongside his new wife Eva Braun.
