Review

"An indispensible, compellingly readable political, military and social history of the Third Reich."—Publishers Weekly

Fischer (cultural/intellectual history, Univ. of California-Santa Barbara) succeeds admirably in his attempt at a balanced analysis of the Third Reich from its late-19th-century origins to its apocalyptic collapse at the hands of three allied armies. This excellent volume culminates a ten-year project and utilizes much new material and many new insights. By design, there is neither overbearing Germanophobia nor revisionism steeped in apologetic rhetoric. The work addresses collective and singular aspects of Nazi Germany's rise and ultimate collapse; its multifaceted treatment encompasses economic, political, military, diplomatic, international, religious, and cultural components of the Third Reich. The book could be laborious reading for nonspecialists, but it is well organized and methodically written. Recommended for scholars, informed lay readers, and cultural/general history collections.Thomas G. Anton, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago (Library Journal)

Tony Meyer

commonly regarded as the greatest Jewish philosopher of the twentieth century

March 15, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

There are some inaccuracies in this book. For example on page 30 the book says "Martin Buber commonly regarded as the greatest Jewish philosopher of the twentieth century." [SIC]. This is false; i am an orthodox Jew and one will never find Martin Buber's books in main-stream yeshivas anywhere. Nevertheless Mr Fischer offers some excellent points and fresh insights into world-war-two and it's well worth the read. There is an instructive chronology of the war at the end and a superb glossary. Mr Klaus's fine study does not match the depth of William Shirer, but it is still a first-rate history, and i strongly recommend Mr Fischer's book.

Something new about Nazi Germany? Please read it!

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Another well written, detailed book about the horrors of Nazi Germany. It is a great read for those very interested in this subject. There is a great amount of information. Some of the information is difficult to read. The descriptions of events can be very gruesome. It is very important that this information is in a place that is very accessible for those who believe that there will never be too much information about this terrible time in history. This book was inexpensive. It arrived very quickly. It was in good condition. I am pleased with this Seller.

The book is in a very good condition just as the seller's description. It's full of details.A nice textbook to learn about Nazi Germany.However, the words are difficult for a first time reader to understand sometimes.

The Best Germany History Book.

March 31, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book is not only telling Nazi Germany History (1933-1945). But also giving a lot of background history between 1914 to 1933.

The author tried to provide a lot of social science theroy to explain why Nazi rise. They are very fruitfull. The social science theories not only let you understand European and German Culture more, and also make you think about why happen in our morden living society and what happan next in future.

EXCELLENT GENERAL HISTORY

April 10, 2005

Format: Paperback

Perhaps Fischer's greatest achievment here is in how much he tells us in so short a book. He covers Nazi and German history from the 19th century to 1945 in under 600 pages!! He shows a special gift for writing the most with the (relatively) fewest words. Even those knowing much about the subject will learn a lot from this volume. And Fischer knows what should and should not be included in a book of this kind. This work will be a valuable addition to any historical library.

I particularly enjoyed the section on the Weimer Republic and the 20's. Most books skip over this period, saying only that the Republic was democratic and flawed, and that Hitler sought to destroy it. Fischer gives us an in depth look at this society, and explains how its insecurities contributed to the disaster to come.

I only wish the book had been a bit longer. There is only so much one can include in a one volume work, I know, but a few hundred more pages would have made it truly outstanding.
