Book, Pan Books, The last days of Hitler, 1952
The classic account of Hitler's fall from power, first pubilshed in 1947, reissued with a striking new cover. In September 1945 the fate of Adolf Hitler was a complete mystery. He had simply disappeared, and had been missing for four months. Hugh Trevor-Roper, an intelligence officer, was given the task of solving the mystery. His brilliant piece of detective work not only proved finally that Hitler had killed himself in Berlin, but also produced one of the most fascinating history books ever written. The Last Days of Hitler tells the extraordinary story of those last days of the Thousand Year Reich in the Berlin Bunker. Besieged in the shattered capital, but still dominating the remains of his court, Hitler reiterated the original alternative of Nazism: either total victory or annihilation.

Book, Bouscaren, Anthony, Diem of Vietnam: The last of the Mandarins:
Diem's tragedy took place in the sub-tropical greenery of Southeast Asia, but it conveyed some of the pity and terror of the Greek Stage. A national hero, who had fought long and courageously against many odds, had finally been bought down by fate - fate in this case being a combination of his avowed enemies, his former friends and, undoubtedly, his own nature.Diem's tragedy took place in the sub-tropical greenery of Southeast Asia, but it conveyed some of the pity and terror of the Greek Stage.
