This review is from: The Rise of the Nazis (New Frontiers in History) (Paperback)

I checked this book out of the University of New Mexico Library. It has proven to be easy to read yet informative, especially in regard to how the Nazis obtained power. It concentrates almost exclusively on the period before Hitlar was elected chancelor (1933). If this is the information you are looking for then it's probably worth picking up. Be warned that it does assume some existing knowledge of Germany at that time, however and is probably not a good first book on the subject.
