The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich A History of Nazi Germany

Selected Reviews:

"Is he fair to Nietzsche and Gobineau? Is he still so sure about the Reichstag fire? Might he not have freed himself a little more from the day-to-day diplomacy of 1938-39 to say more of the internal structure of Nazi Germany? Might he not...have captured and conveyed a little more of the atmosphere of the time, portrayed the personalities, recreated the sense of permanent crisis in which Hitler kept the world? Perhaps he might, but these are trivial criticisms in view of the greatness of his achievement. This is a splendid work of scholarship, objective in method, sound in judgment, inescapable in its conclusions."
