The Berlin Raids (book)

The Berlin Raids (book)

The Berlin Raids (subtitled: "R.A.F. Bomber Command Winter 1943-44") is a book by the British military historian Martin Middlebrook describing the RAF Bomber Command attacks on the German city of Berlin in the Winter of 1943-1944.

These series of raids have become known as The Battle of Berlin.

The book attempts to give a non-partisan account and goes into great detail about the raids, including interviews with participants from both sides.
