Armageddon: A Novel of Berlin by Leon Uris

4.0

---

Nearly 60 years from first reading this book, it is still a good read. I learned many points about the battle between the Americans and Russians to gain supremacy over Berlin. I did find the detail of the airlifts somewhat over detailed and therefore boring. Having said that, Leon Uris was an exceptional writer due to the amount of detail he put into all of his books and his characters are very well depicted. He illustrated very well the anguish felt by both Americans and Germans who experienced loss of loved ones due to the war and also the horrors of the Nazi regime.

I still feel that Mila 18 was the better of these two books.
