"'Fire and Steel' -- the concluding volume of Caddick-Adams' trilogy covering the last year of the war in the West. Peter Caddick- Adams brings the final chapter of the fight against Nazi Germany vividly to life. The book covers the war's final days -- beginning in late January 1945 until May 8th, 1945, when the German high command surrendered unconditionally to all Allied forces. Caddick-Adams' previous two volumes in the series ('Sand & Steel,' which covers the invasion of Normandy in June 1944, and 'Snow & Steel,' the definitive study of the Battle of the Bulge) have set the stage for this concluding volume."
