Any help here? I want to know if they are worth reading.

I think they are worth reading. But, having wrtiteen a book about the Battle of Berlin myself, I decided not to use Beevor as a source because I could not trace many of his quotes and sources and found a slew of significant errors in nomenclature and historical timelines. His style is journalistic, and readable so the books are worth the time.
