Summary

Unflagging interest in this subject, as demonstrated by books, TV and film Genuinely has something new to say about the rise of the Nazi state Accessible and approachable - unlike other massive tomes on the market Focus on ordinary people and popular attitudes Looks at social and economic change, at government and terror, at racial hygiene and anti-semitism Richard Geary?s new interpretive analysis provides an anatomy of the Nazi state itself and makes important revisions to prevailing views about the Third Reich. In particular he presents the War as the apotheosis of the Nazi vision rather than an unfortunate by-product of Nazi foreign policy. Shrewd, informed and above all communicative, this book is a compelling and original contribution which will command the attention of all with a serious interest in this vast and popular field.
