Review

"This balanced history offers a concise introduction to Nazi Germany. Combining narrative storytelling with analysis, Joseph Bendersky offers an authoritative survey of the major political, economic, and social factors that powered the rise and fall of the Third Reich. Now in its third edition, the book incorporates the significant research of recent years. Delving into the complexity of social life within the Nazi state, it also reemphasizes the crucial role played by racial ideology in determining the policies and practices of the Third Reich."--Jacket
