b'Historian Roger Moorhouse\'s new book, Berlin at War, follows the fate of ordinary Berliners in the German capital throughout the second world war. In the words of one review, he brings to vivid life "what passed for normal life in the abnormal capital of Hitler\'s empire": the challenge of surviving air raids, hunger and - for the city\'s Jewish inhabitants - the egregious brutalities of the Nazi regime.'
