A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Hitler's Third Reich is still the focus of numerous articles, books and films: no regime of the twentieth century has prompted such interest or such a body of literature. This is an accessible, compelling, sometimes shocking and often revelatory guide to the Third Reich that has been collated and presented by one of the world's leading historians of Nazi Germany. The photographs gathered by Roger Moorhouse range from documents and postcards to weapons and personal effects. They include Pervitin, Hitler's Mercedes, Hitler's grooming kit, the Messerschmitt 262, the Luger pistol, the Tiger Tank, Eva Braun's lipstick case, the underpants of Rudolf Hess, and, of course, the Swastika and Mein Kampf.

"A fascinating kaleidoscope. These 100 objects are the icons of Nazi Germany." (PROFESSOR SONKE NEITZEL, author of Tapping Hitler s Generals & Soldiers)

"From the bizarre to the sinister; a novel and informative way of describing Nazi Germany." (CHARLES MESSENGER, author of Tanks and Broken Sword)

Revue de presse

The style of writing is clear and coherent, the illustrations crisp and of excellent quality, and the book well-rounded and accessible to all. Whether the reader is just interested in this period of history or an academic it is very highly recommended. --Alina Nwobilska, Britain at War magazine

"No one knows more about the Third Reich than Roger Moorhouse. He has chosen fascinating objects that expose the poisonous reality of Hitler s Germany." --DAN SNOW, author of Twentieth Century Battlefields & Death or Victory

"Every political religion requires its icons and Nazism exemplified this. Art, artefacts and symbols mattered enormously to Hitler and his henchmen, who were selling an idea, a faith, as much as a political programme. This fascinating and beautifully illustrated book by a leading expert on the Nazis sums up the Third Reich in a brilliant and highly accessible way." --Professor Andrew Roberts, author of The Storm of War & Masters and Commanders
