Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I was immediately drawn into The Last Days of Budapest by Adam LeBor, narrated by David Thorpe. Thorpe's performance adds depth to each character and perfectly captures the tension and uncertainty that permeate the narrative. The story is dense with historical detail, making it a rewarding listen for both history buffs and newcomers. However, the pacing can be a bit slow in places where the author delves deeply into background information. Despite this, the overall experience remains engaging thanks to LeBor's vivid storytelling and Thorpe’s nuanced delivery. This audiobook is a must-listen for anyone interested in WWII and the complex geopolitical landscape of Eastern Europe.
