SVEN HASSEL MILITARY FICTION SERIES - LIQUIDATE PARIS

Book Type: S

By Sven Hassel. From the war torn steppes of Russia, from the slopes of Monte Cassin the stunned, bloody remnants of Hitler's armies were gathered to fight the last battle of the German Reich - the battle of the Western Front. And as the Allies advanced upon Paris, the war erupted into its most ruthless, most savage and cruel phase. Across the scarred, corpse-strewn landscape of northern France, the men of the Panzer tank corps retreated - fighting a suicide action as they went... One of the most graphic and entertaining WWII fictional writers, Hassel served in a penal unit with a cast of colorful characters to say the least. Based on his true experiences in WWII, Hassel's unit saw most of the action on the Eastern Front, but also served on other theaters. The humor is often dark, crude, and absolutely hilarious, but never have I read battles described any better, than Hassel. He captures the fierce reality of battle in the most graphic detail. Worldwide his books have sold 52 million copies. All books are paperback. About the Author Born in 1917 in Fredensborg, Denmark, Sven Hassel joined the merchant navy at the age of 14.
