Features: A great history of the Third Reich. It fills a long-standing gap and may become a fundamental reading for future generations. — Walter Fischer The unique aspect of the book is its focus on the early stages of the Nazi movement, its figures, their social backgrounds, and some aspects of their pathological backgrounds. Fischer has the skill to present controversial academic materials in an accessible and clear manner. — Gerhard H?fmeister A distinguished and successful work. If I could only have one history of the Third Reich, this would be my choice. Fischer's chapters on the origins of authoritarianism are outstanding, which is also reflected in his discussions of the following issues, including: the magic of Nazism, the actual workings of the Third Reich, what could survive under the Nazi regime, many difficult issues related to the Holocaust, the question of German guilt, and so on. All of this makes the book the most comprehensive and authoritative work on Hitler's Germany. In short, it is far superior to any single-volume work I know. — Robert G. L. Waite From the origins of the Third Reich in the second half of the 19th century to its catastrophic destruction, Fischer successfully conducts a systematic analysis of the Third Reich. This is the culmination of a decade-long project and effectively utilizes many new materials and perspectives. — Library Journal Fischer is a rational historian, and the monumental work he has completed is an outstanding, clear, comprehensive, and perceptive synthesis of what is currently known about Hitler and his evil empire. — Foreign Affairs Fischer has remarkable synthesizing abilities.
