Description
In this riveting book, Michael Burleigh sets Hitler’s Nazi Germany in a European context, showing how the Third Reich’s abandonment of liberal democracy, decency and tolerance was widespread in the Europe of the period.
He shows how a radical, pseudo-religious movement, led by an oddity with dazzling demagogic talents, seemed to offer salvation to a German exhausted by war, depression and galloping inflation.
This is a monumental book. It is a breathtaking achievement, at once broader and deeper than any other single volume ever published on the subject.
