The Coming of the Third Reich

Richard Evans' Brilliant Book Unfolds Perhaps The Single Most Important Story Of The 20th Century: How A Stable And Modern Country In Less Than A Single Lifetime Led Europe Into Moral, Physical And Cultural Ruin And Despair. A Terrible Story Not Least Because There Were So Many Other Ways In Which Germany's History Could Have Been Played Out. With Authority, Skill And Compassion, Evans Recreates A Country Torn Apart By Overwhelming Economic, Political And Social Blows: The First World War, Versailles, Hyperinflation And The Great Depression. One By One These Blows Ruined Or Pushed Aside Almost Everything Admirable About Germany, Leaving The Way Clear For A Truly Horrifying Ideology To Take Command.
