I've taken several seminars at UCLA with Saul Friedlander, and to say that he is an objective and very insightful historian is an understatement. This book is terrific and deserves all the critical praise that it has received. Even if you are just curious about the Holocaust, or you are a serious historian of the time period, you should definitely pick this book up.
Excellent Intro to Hitler's Germany
Rating: 5/5
This book is an excellent book for anyone wanting to learn about the rise of Fascism in Germany. It is factual and yet easy to read. Anyone that wants to understand how Hitler got his power should read this. The author's bias is kept to a minimum.
What a shame
Rating: 5/5
This is an outstanding history. It is measured, detailed and backed by meticulous research. It is by far the best of this genre
The shame is that the much anticipated sequel is now not planned for publication.
