The first installment of Richard Evans's chilling trilogy on the Third Reich

Richard Evans's brilliant book unfolds perhaps the single most important story of the twentieth century- how a stable and modern country in less than a single lifetime led Europe into moral, physical and cultural ruin and despair. A terrible story not least because there were so many other ways in which Germany's history could have been played out. With authority, skill and compassion, Evans re-creates a country torn apart by overwhelming economic, political and social blows- the First World War, Versailles, hyperinflation and the Great Depression. One by one these blows ruined or pushed aside almost everything admirable about Germany, leaving the way clear for a truly horrifying ideology to take command.

Reviews for The Coming of the Third Reich: How the Nazis Destroyed Democracy and Seized Power in Germany

Richard J. Evans's The Coming of the Third Reich ...gives the clearest and most gripping account I've read of German life before aznd during the rise of the Nazis. --A. S Byatt, in the Times Literary Supplement Richard J. Evans's The Coming of the Third Reich is an enormous work of synthesis--knowledgable and reliable... --Mark Mazower in the New York Times Book Review [A] first-rate narrative history that informs and educates and may inspire readers to delve even deeper into the subject. -- Booklist . ..Brilliant... - Washington Post The generalist reader, it should be emphasized, is well served. ...The book reads briskly, covers all important areas--social and cultural--and succeeds in its aim of giving voice to the people who lived through the years with which it deals. -- Denver Post One finally puts down this magnificent volume thirsty, on the one hand, for the next installment in the Nazi saga yet still haunted by the questions Evan poses and so masterfully grapples with. Abraham Brumberg, The Nation This first part of what will be Evans' three-volume history of Hitler's regime is the most comprehensive and convincing work so far on the gall of Weimar and Hitler's rise to power.
