From the Publisher

Reviewers agree on the excellence of this book.
When this book appeared, European History Quarterly hailed it as 'The best short introduction to the study of Hitler's Germany'. Others were no less complimentary: Richard Bessel, writing in the English Historical Review, mentioned Kershaw's 'extraordinary' 'ability to translate extremely complicated discussions into clear prose.' For readers who want to understand more fully, and on a broader plane, the issues of interpretation encountered in the same author's major new biography of Hitler, this is the book to buy.
