This well-illustrated, highly accessible book at last gives general readers and students a compact, yet comprehensive and authoritative history of the twelve years of the Third Reich - from political takeover of January 30, 1933 to the German capitulation of May 1945. Originally published to rave reviews in Germany, "A Concise History of the Third Reich" describes the establishment of the totalitarian dictatorship, the domestic and foreign politics of the regime, everyday life and terror in National Socialist Germany, the events leading to World War II and the war itself, various forms of resistance against Hitler, and the Holocaust. The book's extensive illustrations are thoroughly treated as documents that illuminate the visual power of Nazi ideology.

The author has succeeded in presenting the history of the Third Reich in some 280 pages, where Shirer's excellent history, for example, is more than 1,000 pages. The book was first published in German and the English translation is excellent.
A book of this type refers to many people and the author succeeds in telling his story without confusing the reader. The book is not strictly chronological but is organized by subject. There are biographical asides to introduce major participants. The book has two unique advantages. Firstly, the story is told from the German point of view by a German. Secondly, the book includes very many illustrations that demonstrate that a picture is worth a 1000 words.
Personally, when reading the book, I was conscious of the author's emphasizing the fact that Hitler was democratically elected in January 1933. Today we still have not solved the problem of how to handle individuals and movements, who use democracy to undermine itself.
