About this title

Synopsis

In the broken aftermath of the First World War, the Treaty of Versailles made the German recovery almost impossible. A Brief History of the Third Reich tells the story of the men who rose to the fore in the dangerous days of the Weimar Republic. Circling around the cult personality generated by Adolf Hitler, the Nazis soon became a threat to the whole world. The book also gives a convincing and personality-driven overview of how ordinairy Germans became seduced by the dreams of a new world order.
