Product Information
Compelling - Daily Telegraph Fascinating - The Spectator The events that took place in Germany between 1919 and 1945 were dramatic and terrible but there were also moments of confusion, of doubt - of hope. How easy was it to know what was actually going on, to grasp the essence of National Socialism, to remain untouched by the propaganda or predict the Holocaust? Travellers in the Third Reich is an extraordinary history of the rise of the Nazis based on fascinating first-hand accounts, drawing together a multitude of voices and stories, including students, politicians, musicians, diplomats, schoolchildren, communists, scholars, athletes, poets, journalists, fascists, artists, tourists, even celebrities like Charles Lindbergh and Samuel Beckett. Their experiences create a remarkable three dimensional picture of Germany under Hitler - one so palpable that the reader will feel, hear, even breathe the atmosphere. These are the accidental eyewitnesses to history. Disturbing, absurd, moving, and ranging from the deeply trivial to the deeply tragic, their tales give a fresh insight into the complexities of the Third Reich, its paradoxes and its ultimate destruction.Product Identifiers

Lessons from History ?
Personally, I have a deep suspicion of most politicians of all Parties. I say that to hopefully show my review of this book is not based upon support, or hostility to anyone. The book, consisting as it does of researched personal accounts, gives a surprising insight into the attitudes of Nations that had recently fought the greatest war in history. It may surprise a few to discover the alienation, suspicion, and sympathies that the unwitting contributors express about their former allies and enemies. It is not an apologist for the rise of Fascism, but extensively covers the political, social, and financial situations that both allowed, and encouraged it to happen, ranging between outright support to complete indifference. The book describes the almost casual rise of Hitler, a clear opportunist who tapped in to much of the despair of the electorate at the time. It shows how the coming shadow of extreme fascism was denied, by many, albeit there are one or two comments about the future by certain individuals who clearly saw the consequences of what was coming. The book starts by presenting the reader with a simple question, an excellent opening which leaves the reader to wonder if I was there, what would I have done, or perhaps more importantly in this day and age, what should I do. If, as they say, history repeats itself, I would advise many to read this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A Timely Warning?
An engaging work that makes the reader question and want to know more, rather than directly or indirectly offering explanations. Perfect for anyone with a passing interest in social behaviour, and / or in Germany and its people.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
