Items related to The Third Reich: On the Rise and Fall of Nazi Germany
Synopsis
Throughout his life Hugh Trevor-Roper sought to understand the forces that had allowed Nazism to emerge in German society. He was constantly in search of answers to his most pressing question: how was it possible that a regime so violent and barbarous, without effective opposition, emerged in a society which had seemed a stable and highly civilised European country? This book represents the most important and most compelling aspects of Trevor-Roper's work on the Third Reich - much of which is previously unpublished. Together, it demonstrates the force, coherence and durability of his underlying convictions and arguments, combining vivid reporting and the re-creation of contemporary experience with a long-term perspective on the Nazi phenomenon. Written in Trevor-Roper's inimitable style, this book will be invaluable reading for anyone interested in World War II and Nazi Germany.

About the Author
Hugh Trevor-Roper was perhaps the most brilliant historian of his generation. An expert in the history of both early modern Britain and Nazi Germany, he was Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford University and latterly Master of Peterhouse, Cambridge. He received a life peerage in 1979. During World War II, Trevor-Roper served in the Secret Intelligence Service and in 1945 he undertook detailed enquiries into the circumstances of Hitler's death under commission from the SIS. It was these investigations that formed the basis for his most best-known book: The Last Days of Hitler. Gina Thomas is a journalist and historian. She is the UK cultural correspondent for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
