Beevor fikk gode kritikker for sin forrige bok "Stalingrad" som kom i 2002. I denne boken tar han for seg Stalins angrep på Berlin under sluttfasen av 2. verdenskrig. Han rekonstruerer historien med nye kilder fra gamle Sovjetdokumenter i tillegg til materiale fra tyske, amerikanske, franske og svenske arkiv. Forfatteren skildrer russernes fremferd under invasjonen og beskriver krigens grusomhet. Det hele er sett nedenfra der soldater og sivile møttes, og overgrep mot sivilbefolkningen som voldtekt av tusenvis av tyske kvinner blir skildret.
