The Third Reich

The winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction in 2001, this is a brilliant and indispensable one-volume history of the Third Reich from a leading historian.

In this riveting book, Michael Burleigh sets Nazi Germany in a European context, showing how the Third Reich''s abandonment of liberal democracy, decency and tolerance was widespread in the Europe of the period. He shows how a radical, pseudo-religious movement, led by an oddity with dazzling demagogic talents, seemed to offer salvation to a German exhausted by war, depression and galloping inflation.

''This is a monumental book.'' Richard Overy, Sunday Telegraph

''If I had to recommend one book on the Third Reich, this would be it.'' Daniel Johnson, Daily Telegraph

''It is a breathtaking achievement, at once broader and deeper than any other single volume ever published on the subject. Indeed I would go further: it is the product of authentic historical genius.'' Niall Ferguson, Sunday Times

''Happily, Michael Burleigh now fills that bibliographical gap, with a readable and highly knowledgeable account of that ghastly period. You will never be bored by this extraordinary book.'' Andrew Roberts, Mail on Sunday
