Paths of Death and Glory: The Last Days of the Third Reich, January - May 1945 by Charles Whiting

Paths of Death and Glory: The Last Days of the Third Reich, January - May 1945 by Charles Whiting describes the soldiers perspective of the final campaign in World War II in the European theater. The stories of those who fought on the front lines as well as the various support troops are laid out in panoramic detail. The scope of the book is January through May of 1945.

A rather short book but excellent on the soldiers experience. There is some discussion of various actions which are not usually covered in the history of the Western allies.
