The second volume of a new narrative history of the rise and fall of the Nazi regime, by an expert on the Third Reich.
Professor Frank McDonough is an internationally renowned expert on the Third Reich. He studied history at Balliol College, Oxford and gained a PhD from Lancaster University. Now based in Liverpool, McDonough has written many critically acclaimed books, including The Gestapo, Sophie Scholl and most recently The Hitler Years, a two-volume history charting the rise and fall of the Nazi regime.
This book is like a time machine because McDonough writes so
vividly [...] One minute you're dining in private with Churchill
and Stalin, the next you're watching the Wehrmacht advance and
retreat in the east
*History of War Magazine*
An impressive tome, beautifully presented with a body of
illustrations... McDonough's narrative rattles along, constantly
engaging and enlightening and thankfully free from turgid academic
jargon... Rarely has the odious story of the Third Reich been so
elegantly presented'
*History Today*
I have read many books on the period and Frank McDonough's ranks
above them all. Bravo
*Danny Baker*
McDonough is not content with repeating age-old arguments but seeks
to challenge mainstream historiography, bringing into question the
real role Hitler played in Nazi Germany
*Aspects of History*
McDonough writes clearly and readably with just enough detail on
the huge canvas that he covers
*Spectator*
An amazing achievement... If you are going to read one book over
the Christmas period or early next year then read this
