" From the twilight of the Weimar Republic to the collapse of the Third Reich in 1945 - here is an outstanding survey of a fateful period in recent history, as two historians present a German answer to the many questions raised by the rise and fall of Nazi Germany. "

" Concisely and readably the book explores the psychology of the period. How did Hitler succeed in winning the hearts and votes of forty million Germans in 1933? What happened to the very elements - the Social Democrats, the Communists, the unions - that should have offered effective resistance to Nazism? How did the state set out on the path that led to its carefully camouflaged program of Jewish extermination? "

" From the bloody events of June 30, 1934 through the pre-war diplomatic successes and the early victories of the war, as National Socialism tightened its grip on every branch of national life, this sober account of incredible years offers new understanding of the interplay of forces in the Germany of the time. "

" The last part of the book unveils the scattered and amorphous character of the German "Resistance" in a highly organized totalitarian state and assesses the conflicts and scruples that strengthened and inhibited that resistance. "
