Edited by Robert Gellately
Reviews and Awards
"Having assembled an impressive group of experts, the volume proceeds thematically to address most every aspect of the Third Reich. All ten chapters are well informed by contemporary scholarship but acces-sible to a lay audience. Politics, culture, war, society, and economy all receive their due. That this volume is richly illustrated with primary sources, film clips, photographs, paintings, and other visual media adds to the diversity and relatability of the contributions." -- Robert Dassanowsky, Journal of Modern History
"While focusing on various aspects of the Nazi years, all the writers use illustrations effectively to highlight the brutality of the regime toward its internal and external enemies. For a reader who wishes to choose one source to learn about the Third Reich this book is a good choice." -- Paul Bookbinder, University of Massachusetts, European History Quarterly
