1. The Last Days Of Budapest
The Destruction of Europe’s Most Cosmopolitan Capital in World War II
Set during the 1944–45 siege of Budapest, the book follows the city’s descent from a vibrant, multicultural capital into chaos as front lines close in. Using diaries and archives, it follows a cross-section of residents — aristocrats, soldiers, a teenage Jewish student, a popular entertainer, and a housewife — as they face scarcity, violence, and moral uncertainty while trying to survive.
