About this title

Review

Sebastian Haffner's book is unmatched as a contemporary analysis of the Third Reich. It is quite remarkable that, writing in 1940, he could produce such acute insights into Hitler's character and political hold over Germany (IAN KERSHAW)

An alarm call trying to awaken the British to the unique nature of Hitler and the Nazi regime ... Remarkably prescient (J. G. BALLARD)

Haffner's clear-sighted analysis annihilates any claim by his contemporaries not to have known about Nazi crimes. Apocryphally, Churchill told his cabinet to read this book so that they would understand the Nazi threat. We should do likewise to understand how close we came to ignoring it (OBSERVER)

A powerful and sustained text . . . it explodes with rhetorical fireworks. Haffner produces a convincing picture of the Nazis, their numbers, their power and the destructive nihilism that united them (Giles MacDonogh, BBC HISTORY)
