Description

In one of the planet's most distinguished historians, a magisterial new reckoning with Hitler's rise to power and the fall of culture in Nazi Germany.

Its political tradition was less authoritarian than Russia's and less anti semitic than France's; consultant establishments were flourishing, and contending political events and elections were a main section of living. How then can we explain the very fact that in a bit more than the usual technology this steady contemporary nation would maintain the arms of the violent, racist, extremist political activity that would direct it and all Europe into complete moral, physical, and social wreck?
