Das Dritte Reich

"Impressive and perceptive: the most comprehensive history of the fateful era of the Third Reich ever written" Ian KershawIn the second volume of his monumental trilogy on the rise and fall of the Third Reich, Richard J. Evans devotes himself to the early years of the dictatorship from 1933 to 1939. Supposed successes such as the decline in unemployment, bought by a massive rearmament, a strengthened national self-confidence and the gigantic self-promotion of the Third Reich during the 1936 Olympic Games, are contrasted with a record of terror. With the seizure of power in 1933, a merciless internal war against opponents of the regime, fringe groups and Jews began. The system of concentration camps is established, the Nuremberg Laws are passed, and the November pogrom of 1938 is a harbinger of the Holocaust.Features: with numerous illustrations.
