Liberation : the bitter road to freedom, Europe 1944-1945
Hitchcock, William I.2009
Book
The traditional image of Europe in 1945 is of grateful civilians showering soldiers with flowers. In reality, liberation was a violent and chaotic process. Using first-hand accounts, this text shows that the motives and behaviour of the Allied forces were far from noble.
