Reviews
The new definitive volume on the subject, supplanting William Shirer's gold standard The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. . . . The book's main strength lies in its chapters on the rise and early years of the party. And with newly unearthed documents - many from Germany - that the author had access to., A narrative masterpiece that displays both Childers's profound expertise and genius for story-telling., Riveting. . . . An elegantly composed study, important and even timely, given current trends in American and global politics., An exhaustive but powerful timeline of the rise and fall of the Third Reich. Childers dispels some common misconceptions about early Nazi history, while not sugarcoating their heinous atrocities. This book is a historical reminder of what happens when power goes unchecked., [Childers] is a master of English prose, writing with clarity, elegance, and wit; his account of Nazi Germany is every bit as readable as Shirer's and deserves a wide audience. . . . Offers a series of important correctives to Shirer's narrative, based on a comprehensive knowledge of the research carried out in the half-century and more since The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich was first published., Historian Childers does a magnificent job of balancing many details within an overarching narrative of the Nazis' rise to power. . . . Essential reading for World War II enthusiasts and those interested in the origins of the Nazi Party and the resulting Holocaust.

Synopsis
The Third Reich is a fresh, up-to-date, and dramatic history of how Adolf Hitler and a core group of Nazis rose to power and plunged the world into the most horrific war ever fought, perpetrating the genocidal Holocaust while sacrificing the lives of millions of ordinary Germans. Thomas Childers brings to life the Nazis' rise to power and their use and abuse of power once they achieved it. Based in part on German documents seldom used by previous historians, The Third Reich shows how the Nazis' improbable rise happened in large part because of luck and the ineptitude of other political parties. Childers also charts the suffering of ordinary Germans under Nazi rule and the unparalleled horrors of World War II and the Holocaust. This is the most comprehensive and readable one-volume history of Nazi Germany since the classic Rise and Fall of the Third Reich was published more than fifty years ago. Book jacket., "Riveting...An elegantly composed study, important and even timely" ( Kirkus Reviews , starred review) history of the Third Reich--how Adolf Hitler and a core group of Nazis rose from obscurity to power and plunged the world into World War II. In "the new definitive volume on the subject" ( Houston Press ), Thomas Childers shows how the young Hitler became passionately political and anti-Semitic as he lived on the margins of society. Fueled by outrage at the punitive terms imposed on Germany by the Versailles Treaty, he found his voice and drew a loyal following. As his views developed, Hitler attracted like-minded colleagues who formed the nucleus of the nascent Nazi party. Between 1924 and 1929, Hitler and his party languished in obscurity on the radical fringes of German politics, but the onset of the Great Depression gave them the opportunity to move into the mainstream. Hitler blamed Germany's misery on the victorious allies, the Marxists, the Jews, and big business--and the political parties that represented them. By 1932 the Nazis had become the largest political party in Germany, and within six months they transformed a dysfunctional democracy into a totalitarian state and began the inexorable march to World War II and the Holocaust. It is these fraught times that Childers brings to life: the Nazis' unlikely rise and how they consolidated their power once they achieved it. Based in part on German documents seldom used by previous historians, The Third Reich is a "powerful...reminder of what happens when power goes unchecked" ( San Francisco Book Review ). This is the most comprehensive and readable one-volume history of Nazi Germany since the classic The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.
