Description
'This accessible history will keep the subject alive for a new generation [..] It is about providing an accessible, sober and vivid resource that keeps the subject alive. In this aim, the book succeeds admirably.' - The Times
'A work of acute solemnity that finds a way to be all the more powerful because of its measured restraint.' - Telegraph
'A tour de force that should serve as a warning to us all'.' - Giles Milton
The Hitler Years: Holocaust is the fourth volume in Frank McDonough's brilliantly reviewed and bestselling history of Germany from 1918 to 1945.
The penultimate title in the Hitler's Germany series, this book marks the end of the Second World War and the Nazi regime. It provides detailed year-by-year analysis of a horrific period of Nazi doctrine, and places into context the events that followed the Nazi Party's rise to power in 1933 and beyond.
McDonough skilfully guides readers through the development of early persecution in the 1920s, foreshadowing what was to come once the Nazi Party took power in 1933. He explores the impact of the 1933 Nuremberg Laws, the implementation of pre-war intimidation policies, and the influence of the secret Wannsee Conference on the execution of the 'Final Solution'. A meticulous chronicle of the experiences and testimonies of survivors, this book demonstrates how violence against the Jewish population migrated from the beerhall to state bureaucracy.
This fully illustrated volume draws together and engages with the latest scholarly research, and makes extensive use of primary sources, presenting a vivid and shocking narrative. A tragic and deadly period in German and European history is brought to life by one of the country's premier scholars.

Holocaust is the fourth and concluding volume in Frank McDonough's magisterial quartet of Germany history, from the rise of the Weimar Republic to the fall of the Third Reich. Meticulously researched and spanning a vast canvas, McDonough has written a compelling narrative that chronicles in unflinching fashion the diabolical crimes of Hitler's murderous regime. A tour de force that should serve as a warning to us all.

Praise for The Weimar Years: Rise and Fall 1918-1933:
Yet again McDonough shows why he is one of the best chroniclers of 20th-century Germany.Dan Snow
