At the end of World War II, Andrew Tully was one of three Americans allowed to enter Berlin as a guest of a Russian artillery battalion commander. He spent the next seventeen years gathering eyewitness accounts, collecting war diaries and letters, and reading over one hundred books in order to write this gripping and comprehensive account about the fall of Berlin. Originally published in the U.S. in 1963, Berlin: Story of a Battle has also been translated into French, Dutch, Italian and Japanese.
