Summary of cornelius ryan's the last battle

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In the northern latitudes, the dawn came early. In Berlin, Germany's most bombed city, the ruins stood out in stark, macabre splendor. The city was blackened by soot, pockmarked by thousands of craters, and laced by the twisted girders of ruined buildings. #2 The 314th American bombing raid on Berlin was over, and the city was in ruins. The statistics of destruction were staggering: three billion cubic feet of debris lay in the streets, enough rubble for a mountain more than a thousand feet high. #3 On March 21, 1945, Berliners went about their daily lives, despite the ongoing war. They rose early, and waited in line to get to work. #4 Berliners reacted to the dangers that threatened them in different ways. Some stubbornly disregarded the threat, hoping it would go away. Others courted it. Others reacted with anger or fear, and some prepared bravely to meet their fate head on.
