Synopsis

Hitler and the Rise of the Nazi Party begins with an overview of the personality and early life of Adolf Hitler and proceeds to examine the early years of the Nazi Party and the major factors which led to the growth of support for it among ordinary Germans.  In particular it looks at organisation and party propaganda during this period and reassesses some of the commonly assumed reasons for Hitler’s appointment as German Chancellor in January 1933.

From the Back Cover

Now fully revised and reformatted, Hitler and the Rise of the Nazi Party is an indispensible guide to the history of the Nazi party between its initial electoral breakthrough in 1930 and its victory in 1933. Arguing that the Nazis owed their success as much to Hitler’s charismatic leadership and their own effective propaganda and organisation as to the weakness of the Weimar regime, Frank McDonough provides an original perspective on the subject as well as a concise, readable introduction to key events and debates.  This new edition includes:

 

• A new introduction on the broad context of Weimar Germany
• Two new chapters on the reasons for the Nazi breakthrough in 1930 and on the crucial 1930-1933 period
• New clearer student-friendly format   

 

Supported by an expanded documents section and fully revised bibliography, a chronology of key events and a who’s who of leading figures, Hitler and the Rise of the Nazi Party will provide an invaluable introduction for any student of this fascinating period.
