Learnt a lot from reading this very informative book. Without glorifying war it explains the impact the nazis had on not only everyday people but religion, economics and a lot more. Great read ( ) A very satisfying account of the rise and fall of Nazism. Thorough but pretty brief, it is illustrated with short portraits of some ordinary people caught up in the tragedy and also includes a nice selection of contemporary jokes. Most attention is given to social issues in the rise adn experience of the Third Reich, so there is little detail about the fighting. Good references and index. It starts with an account of Drexler who started the party that Hitler later took over. He is said to be nationalistic, racist, militaristic and anti-semitic. I suppose that begs the question why were the Germans so susceptible to those views. Whittock gives some explanation for that. There is very satisfying treatment of the churches reaction to Nazism and its weakness despite Bonhoeffer, and the innocent White Rose students get their honourable tribute. A great achievement in a short space and amazingly good value in Kindle. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Beginning in the broken aftermath of the First World War and the Treaty of Versailles that made German recovery almost impossible, Whittock tells not just the account of the men who rose to the fore in the dangerous days of the Weimar republic, circling around the cult of personality generated by Adolf Hitler, but also a convincing and personality-driven overview of how ordinary Germans became seduced by the dreams of a new world order, the Third Reich. The book also gives a fascinating insight into the everyday life in Germany during the Second World War and explores key questions such as how much did the Germans know about the Holocaust and why did the regime eventually fail so disastrously?
