Summary
In The Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany, 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. This is the most comprehensive one-volume history of Nazi Germany since the classic The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

Fascinating insights into the early rise.
A well read and interesting look at the rise and fall of the 3rd Reich. Particularly interesting is the rise and how it happened.

awful narration
The story is obviously something very thought provoking but the narration is awful. This man has one volume which is shouting and it ruins the entire book

Great Overview
Well written is a brusque manner which i think is required in such a vast subject. A revisionist perspective with excellent use of the diaries of Viktor Klemperer and Ian Kershaw bio of Hitler. A detailed and precise description of the full horrors of the regime and a decent mention of resistance peppered throughout the chapters. Narration was great too. It is a great intro to the subject and does not assume any prior knowledge which is a tricky path to navigate when it comes the the Third Reich

Okay bar one or two things
A good introduction to the horrors of the Nazi regime that properly highlights Hitler’s and his followers' inexcusable atrocities. Mr Childers does however downplay the deal done with the Vatican, but that is a matter of degree and opinion. Plain wrong are his frequent references to England, when England ceased to exist on the world stage after 1707. This is as jarring as it would be to say that Pearl Harbour brought California into the War.
