'Moorhouse's evocative social history of Hitler's capital...punctures a variety of myths. The Berlin he depicts is not the portrait of fanatical Nazis and hunted Jews that we are used to, although both groups are represented. Instead it is a city defined by apathy, filled with people who are content to pretend they cannot smell the unpleasant background odour until it becomes too overpowering to ignore' Daily Telegraph
Berlin was the nerve-centre of Hitler's Germany - the backdrop for the most lavish ceremonies, it was also the venue for Albert Speer's plans to forge a new 'world metropolis' and the scene of the final climactic bid to defeat Nazism. Yet while our understanding of the Holocaust is well developed, we know little about everyday life in Nazi Germany. In this vivid and important study Roger Moorhouse portrays the German experience of the Second World War, not through an examination of grand politics, but from the viewpoint of the capital's streets and homes. He gives a flavour of life in the capital, raises issues of consent and dissent, morality and authority and, above all, charts the violent humbling of a once-proud metropolis.
'It provides something rare: a popular-history account that will satisfy both general readers and professional historians' Irish Times
'A painstakingly detailed account of everyday life in Hitler's metropolis... As a leading historian of modern Germany, Moorhouse has chronicled a largely unknown story with scholarship, narrative verve and, at times, an awful, harrowing immediacy' Sunday Telegraph
'Roger Moorhouse's measured, sympathetic book offers a fascinating corrective to that Anglocentric perspective. It doesn't try to absolve the Germans altogether, but what he does do is help us understand them....[a] thorough and engaging book' Daily Mail
