Teach
Yourself Nazi Germany is an accessible introduction
to one of the most controversial periods in modern history.
It looks at the wider picture surrounding it, from the
creation of the German nation to Hitler's rise to power
and his motives.
Before destroying himself and his nation
in a bitter world war, the Nazi leader, Adolf Hitler,
was adored by the mass of the German people. This book
attempts to explain this paradox by involving the reader
in the remarkable story of the Third Reich and in the
controversies that still surround it.
The engaging narrative looks at many
different aspects, including the economy and working
conditions, the structure of the country (politics,
society, culture), Hitler's instruments of terror, treatment
of Jews, the role and treatment of women, concentration
camps, and, of course, Germany in the Second World War. |
