Synopsis

Hitler's Germany provides a comprehensive narrative history of Nazi Germany and sets it in the wider context of nineteenth and twentieth century German history.

• an expanded introduction focusing on the hazards of writing about Nazi Germany
• an extended analysis of fascism, totalitarianism, imperialism and ideology
• a broadened contextualisation of antisemitism
• discussion of the Holocaust including the euthanasia program and the role of eugenics
• new chapters on Nazi social and economic policies and the structure of government as well as on the role of culture, the arts, education and religion
• additional maps, tables and a chronology
• a fully updated bibliography.

Exploring the controversies surrounding Nazism and its afterlife in historiography and historical memory Hitler’s Germany provides students with an interpretive framework for understanding this extraordinary episode in German and European history.
