Description As the Red Army rolls into Berlin, an unnamed woman waits for the inevitable. The conquest of the city is only the beginning of a new war, one in which the vanquished will be claimed by the victors?Hailed as one of the most powerful and important accounts of a woman's experience of war, A Woman in Berlin has only gained in its ability to shock and impress itself more than half a century later. The voice of this anonymous, brilliant account slips between pitiless honesty and lyrical elegance, all the while daring to stare its unthinkable subject in the eye.
