Description

A Major Study of One of the Twentieth Century's Darkest PeriodsUntil now there has been no up-to-date; one-volume; international history of Nazi Germany; despite its being among the most studied phenomena of our time. The Third Reich restores a broad perspective and intellectual unity to issues that have become academic subspecialties and offers a brilliant new interpretation of Hitler's evil rule.Filled with human and moral considerations that are missing from theoretical accounts; Michael Burleigh's book gives full weight to the experience of ordinary people who were swept up in; or repelled by; Hitler's movement and emphasizes international themes-for Nazi Germany appealed to many European nations; and its wartime conduct included efforts to dominate the Continental economy and involved gigantic population transfers and exterminations; recruitment of foreign labor; and multinational armies.
