In this new edition of The Rise of the Nazis, Conan Fischer takes stock of the current debates on how and why the Nazis seized power in Germany. The book begins with an overview of the historical context within which Nazism grew, looking at foreign relations, politics and society of Weinmar, and in particular, at the role of the elites in the rise of Nazism. It proceeds to examine the anatomy of Nazism itself. Since the publication of the first edition, important new works have appeared and this new scholarship has been incorporated into the text.

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.
