1998 | 269 Pages | ISBN: 067435091X | PDF | 4 MB
Why did ordinary Germans vote for Hitler? In this dramatically Descriptionted book, organized around crucial turning points in 1914, 1918, and 1933, Peter Fritzsche explains why the Nazis were so popular and what was behind the political choice made by the German people.
