The Last Days of Budapest tells the powerful story of one of the least-known but most important episodes of the Second World War: life and death in the Hungarian capital from autumn 1944 to early 1945, a gripping story of spies, fanaticism, genocide and military disaster.

The Last Days of Budapest is a masterpiece. Immaculately researched, it is packed with large-than-life characters and revelations about the unknown espionage history of the Second World War. Adam LeBor's vivid, taut prose brings the story of the 'Casablanca of central Europe' alive in glorious technicolour. From the naïve optimism of the late 1930s to the depths of depravity and bloodshed during the siege in winter 1944, LeBor takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster. This is history as it should be written: utterly engrossing.
