THE LAST 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ DAYSBy JOHN TOLAND Non-Fiction 🐓 * BANTAM BOOK *TORONTO NEW YORK LONDON A NATIONAL COMPANY --------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Note---------------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps no other 100 days in history have been greater significanceand consequences then those at the end of World War II in Europe.Within the space of three months Roosevelt, Hiter and Mussolini died,as did Nazism and Fascism. V-E Day marked the end of one era andthe beginning of another, with its fantastic hopes and terrors. I have tried to write of those portentous day as if they took place ahundred years ago and to portray Hitler, Himmler, Goring and theirkind not against the background of one who lived through that periodbut with the objectivity of time. The book is based on hundreds of interviews with people fromtwenty-one countries who were directly involved with the eventsdescribed. Wherever possible the participants are the basic sourcefor what happened and they reveal- and at times condemn- themselveswith their own words. It is time for revelation, not accusation. The book is further based on several thousand primary sources:after-action reports; staff journals and monographs; a number oftop-secret messages and personal documents that have until nowbeen unavailable to historians (Lieutenant General Hobart Gay,Patton's chief of staff, for example, allowed his diary- kept atPatton's order- to be used for the first time); finally, numerouspublished and unpublished books where consulted. The excerpts of dialogue in this book are not fictional.They come from transcripts, stenographic notes and memory of theparticipants. The Notes (at the end of the book) contain sources forall the material used, chapter by chapter. Max Beerbohm once wrote, " The past is a work of art, free ofirrelevancies and loose ends." My hope has been to recreate pastevents after enough time had elapsed to recollect them in relativetranquility, but not before the " irrelevancies and losses ends,"which are the spice of history, have disappeared.
