The End Of War is a historical fiction book. The book takes place during world war two, and describes several real events that took place during this time period with the use of fictional characters. The book jumps around from side to side. For example it tells the life of the people living in Berlin at the time, then how the soldiers in the Russian red army and the American army fought against the German’s. The book also uses great detail to explain to the reader how the governments where cohering with each other to find a resolution to the war and create a united nations, to keep peace. The beginning of the book tells how the Russians fought vigorously to move the Germans off of their soil.
After the Russians succeeded they just couldn’t stop there, they had to take Berlin, the grand prize. The Americans joined in on the war efforts as well as the British to attempt to stop the Germans cruel treatments toward the Jews and other prisoners. Fighting for both sides was very intense and of course there were many casualties. In Berlin Freya a German lady trades her body for food to help feed an elderly Jewish history teacher who is taking refuge in her basement. People living in Berlin had a very rough life at this time, living each day off of food stamps which allowed them to only buy a certain amount of food at a time. If people finished their food off before they received more stamps they would simply go hungry and very possibly die.

The Western Democracies of Britain and France allied and declared war on Germany when Poland was attacked. This was the immediate cause of the war.

In the end it’s the Russians who invade Berlin without the Americans who have backed off along with the British. The book says that when the Russians invaded Berlin their soldiers raped three hundred thousand of its women. The author uses lots of historical evidence to tell what has happened during world war two. For example the author tells about how the Germans treated the Jews, by putting them to work in camps and executing them in death camps later to be disposed of in mass graves.
The story also tells how the German women were raped by the Russian soldiers after they had invaded and how the Americans foolishly backed away from invading Berlin along with the Russians. The Books arguments are very convincing; even though it isn’t based on real characters most events in the books really did take place. I think the author used great wording to describe what was going on in the heads of the president, prime minister and Stalin when they where discussing their moves to invade Germany. For example the author made it seem as though you really where and audience in the book giving you the illusion that the scenes taking place where in fact really taking place, which made the book kind of interesting. All in all I feel I feel that The End Of Wars was a great book and an easy read.
I would definitely want to read it again if I hadn’t already done so. The book has taught me many new things about world war two that I hadn’t known about such as the whole Stalin invading Berlin. In all my years of Hebrew school and history class all of my teachers have failed to tell me about what Stalin and his soldiers did to the civilians of Berlin, which this book has informed me of.
