Description
This textbook is about the history of Nazi Germany and the relationships between the Nazi regime and the German people. It includes essays on different topics, including recent revisionist and challenging interpretations of the history of Nazi Germany.
The totalitarian image of the Third Reich has been thoroughly displaced during the past two decades by new research on the social history of the Nazi years which reveals the variety and complexity of the relationships between the Nazi regime and the German people. The articles in this textbook address the key debates, include recent revisionist and challenging interpretations and raise methodological and theoretical questions. The book includes several German authors not easily available in English and presents many viewpoints in a coherent structure. Review: David Crew's selection is outstanding. He includes richly detailed and very nuanced articles as well as provocative think pieces painted in broad strokes...The book abounds in significant conflicts, contending voices, and a sense of scholarly responsibility. -Rudy Koshar, University of Wisconsin An excellent introduction...The volume brings together some of the most interesting recent research on the Third Reich...It is an invitation to think critically about how to conceptualize the Third Reich...A valuable teaching tool. -Robert Moeller, The Woodrow Wilson International Center Organized around a clear theme, with quality essays, this volume embodies what a collection of essays should do: offer new insights, force the reader to think critically about his or her conceptions, and allow for a comprehensive look at a particular subject. - German Studies Review
