Summary

Originally published in hardback only in 1987, Michael Freeman's valuable guide to the history of Nazi Germany now returns to print -- in paperback for the first time, under the Longman imprint, in a substantially revised Second Edition. Dealing with all aspects of the Nazi regime, it is far more than just an atlas: the integration of the maps themselves with charts and other visually-displayed data, and an extensive and authoritative commentary, makes this a book to read as well as to refer to.
