Paperback. Condition: Very Good. ___________ A Waterstones Paperback of the Year 2022 A New Statesman Book of the Year 2022 Fascinating Youll learn more about the psychological workings of Nazism by reading this superbly researched chronicle than you will by reading a shelf of wider-canvas volumes on the rise of Nazism.Daily Mail An utterly absorbing insight into the full spectrum of responses from ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.The Times Boyd is an outstanding micro-historian.iNews ___________ Hidden deep in the Bavarian mountains lies the picturesque village of Oberstdorf a place where for hundreds of years people lived simple lives while history was made elsewhere. Yet even this remote idyll could not escape the brutal iron grip of the Nazi regime. From the author of the Sunday Times bestselling Travellers in the Third Reich comes A Village in the Third Reich: an extraordinarily intimate portrait of Germany under Hitler, shining a light on the lives of ordinary people. Drawing on personal archives, letters, interviews and memoirs, it lays bare their brutality and love; courage and weakness; action, apathy and grief; hope, pain, joy and despair. Within its pages we encounter people from all walks of life foresters, priests, farmers and nuns; innkeepers, Nazi officials, veterans and party members; village councillors, mountaineers, socialists, slave labourers, schoolchildren, tourists and aristocrats. We meet the Jews who survived and those who didnt; the Nazi mayor who tried to shield those persecuted by the regime; and a blind boy whose life was judged not worth living. This is a tale of conflicting loyalties and desires, of shattered dreams but one in which, ultimately, human resilience triumphs. These are the stories of ordinary lives at the crossroads of history. ___ Exceptional.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Praise for Travellers in the Third Reich CompellingDaily Telegraph Thought-provoking readingLiterary Review FascinatingSpectator Absorbing and stimulating Mail on Sunday Oberstdorf is a beautiful village high up in the Bavarian Alps, a place where for hundreds of years ordinary people lived simple lives while history was made elsewhere. Yet even here, in the farthest corner of Germany, National Socialism sought to control not only peoples lives but also their minds. By putting one village under the microscope, this book evocatively portrays the momentous period of Nazism in Germany. Why did Germans respond to Hitler in the manner that they did? How did their attitudes change as the war progressed? And when all hope was gone and their country lay in ruins, how did they pick themselves up and start again? Drawing on archive material, letters, interviews and memoirs, A Village in the Third Reich is an extraordinarily intimate portrait of Germany under Hitler, of the descent into totalitarianism and of the tragedies that befell all of those touched by Nazism. In its pages we meet the Jews who survived and those who didnt; the Nazi mayor who tried to shield those persecuted by the regime; and a blind boy whose life was thought not worth living. It is a tale of conflicting loyalties and desires, of shattered dreams, despair and destruction. But if this is primarily a tale of political tragedy, it is also one in which human resilience triumphs. These are the stories of ordinary lives at the crossroads of history. A stunningly evocative portrait of Hitlers Germany through the people of a single village. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
