Learn moreIn late 1945 the fate of Adolf Hitler was a complete mystery. Missing for four months, he had simply vanished. Hugh Trevor-Roper, a British intelligence officer, was given the task of solving the mystery. With access to American counterintelligence files and German prisoners, his brilliant detective work proved finally that Hitler had killed himself in Berlin. It also produced one of the most fascinating history books ever written.
Originally published in 1947, The Last Days of Hitler tells the extraordinary story of those final days of the Thousand-Year Reich—a dramatic, carefully planned finale to a terrible chapter of history.
Hugh Trevor-Roper (1914–2003) was Regius Professor of Modern History at the University of Oxford and one of the most famous historians of his generation. His many books include The Invention of Scotland, Hermit of Peking, The Last Days of Hitler, and The Rise of Christian Europe. He became a life peer as Lord Dacre of Glanton in 1979.
Steven Crossley, a graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, has built a career on both sides of the Atlantic as an actor and audiobook narrator, for which he has won more than a dozen AudioFile Earphones Awards and been a nominee for the prestigious Audie Award. He is a member of the internationally renowned theater company Complicite and has appeared in numerous theater, television, film, and radio dramas.
