Description
Nazi Germany: Confronting the Myths provides a concise and compelling introduction to the Third Reich. At the same time, it challenges and demystifies the many stereotypes surrounding Hitler and Nazi Germany.
Creates a succinct, argument-driven overview for students by using common myths and stereotypes to encourage critical engagement with the subject.
Provides an up-to-date historical synthesis based on the latest research in the field. Argues that in order to fully understand and explain this period of history, we need to address its seeming paradoxes – for example, questioning why most Germans viewed the Third Reich as a legitimate government, despite the Nazis’ criminality.
Incorporates useful study features, including a timeline, glossary, maps, and illustrations.
