The clearest and most gripping account I've read of German life before and during the rise of the Nazis. —A. S Byatt; Times Literary SupplementThere is no story in twentieth-century history more important to understand than Hitler’s rise to power and the collapse of civilization in Nazi Germany. With The Coming of the Third Reich; Richard Evans; one of the world’s most distinguished historians; has written the definitive account for our time. A masterful synthesis of a vast body of scholarly work integrated with important new research and interpretations; Evans’s history restores drama and contingency to the rise to power of Hitler and the Nazis; even as it shows how ready Germany was by the early 1930s for such a takeover to occur. The Coming of the Third Reich is a masterwork of the historian’s art and the book by which all others on the subject will be judged.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Interesting manBy J. CogswellEd Cogswell was my uncle; interesting man; full of stories/facts about the Cogswell family and history; I enjoyed greatly listing to him tell them over a glass of wine. This is a great book about civil war and family on opposing sides of the fight.
