Description
'The best short introduction to the study of Hitler's Germany.' - European History Quarterly
The 40th-anniversary edition of Sir Ian Kershaw's ground-breaking study of the Third Reich. With a brand new foreword by Mary Fulbrook, The Nazi Dictatorship covers all the major themes and debates relating to Nazism including the Holocaust, Hitler's authority and leadership, economics in the Nazi state, Nazi foreign policy, German resistance, and the aftermath. Regarded by many as the world's leading authority on Hitler and the Third Reich, Kershaw has redefined the way we look at this period of modern European history.
