Scope and content: "By early 1945, the destruction of the German Nazi State seems certain. The Allied forces, led by American general Dwight D. Eisenhower, are gaining control of Europe, leaving German leaders scrambling. Facing defeat, Adolf Hitler flees to a secret bunker with his mistress, Eva Braun, and his beloved dog, Blondi. It is there that all three will meet their fate, thus ending the Third Reich and one of the darkest chapters in modern history. Hitler's Last Days is a gripping account of the death of the Nazi regime and perhaps the most reviled villain of the twentieth century. Adapted from Bill O'Reilly's best-selling historical thriller Killing Patton, this book will have young readers--and grown-ups too--hooked on history"--
