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
