... meticulous.
... skillfully conceived and utterly engrossing.
In Jefferson Chase’s translation, the narrative moves swiftly, and it will absorb even those who are familiar with the vast library of Hitler books. To read Downfall is to see up close how Hitler lashed out — compulsively, destructively — whenever he felt boxed in..
Ullrich is a fine writer and the book is well organised, but perhaps its most important characteristic is that it is written by a German.
... magisterial but unoriginal.
... superb and will be considered the definitive work about this evil despot.
... comprehensive.
