'An all-too-vivid account of life lived in the shadow of Europe's worst war ... Will force anyone bold enough to read [it] to recognise just what modern war does to people' LITERARY REVIEW 'Stafford skilfully provides a connecting framework for a narrative of almost Tolstoyan proportions ... he is therefore to be congratulated on his even-handed treatment of a subject which, in the depth of its almost incredible inhumanity, brutality, violence and scale, beggars the imagination and which only a writer of the first calibre, strongest nerve and monumental intellectual stamina could tackle' SPECTATOR 'Gripping and moving, Endgame 1945 makes brilliant use of the individual stories of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events' SUNDAY TIMES 'Stafford relates the experiences of 'ordinary' people on both sides, brilliantly interleaved with the fate of the monsters who had precipitated this cataclysm, most compellingly' THE TIMES 'Stafford has assembled a remarkable gallery of human stories - heroic, tragic, squalid, moving - for his book, which reminds us that victory, even in a 'good' war, is almost as bitter as defeat' DAILY IRISH MAIL 'Stafford proves himself master of a dazzling narrative' EXPRESS 'Endgame 1945 isn't a footnote to history. It's the last chapter in a book from which to learn before another volume opens' OBSERVER REVIEW
