Synopsis"The clearest and most gripping account I've read of German life before and during the rise of the Nazis." --A. S Byatt, Times Literary Supplement There is no story in twentieth-century history more important to understand than Hitler's rise to power and the collapse of civilization in Nazi Germany. With The Coming of the Third Reich , Richard Evans, one of the world's most distinguished historians, has written the definitive account for our time. A masterful synthesis of a vast body of scholarly work integrated with important new research and interpretations, Evans's history restores drama and contingency to the rise to power of Hitler and the Nazis, even as it shows how ready Germany was by the early 1930s for such a takeover to occur. The Coming of the Third Reich is a masterwork of the historian's art and the book by which all others on the subject will be judged., The definitive account of Hitler's rise to power and the collapse of civilization in Nazi Germany, from the author of The Third Reich in Power , The Third Reich at War , and Hitler's People "The clearest and most gripping account I've read of German life before and during the rise of the Nazis." --A.

Manipulation for political ends is as old as the hills, only the technology and techniques change.
Clearly describes the political events leading up to the birth of the Weimar Republic then its collapse. Much of what is described can be readily applied to what we are witnessing today with so many democracies struggling.
