A terrific book. Nicholas Stargardt brilliantly explores diaries, letters and other previously untapped sources to provide more vivid and nuanced insight than ever before achieved into the motivation of ordinary Germans fighting the most horrific war of all time -- Ian Kershaw Beautifully written and convincingly argued, this book is a must -- Saul Friedlander, author of Nazi Germany and the Jews For the first time, the wartime chronology of German sentiment, of popular hopes and fears, realism and fantasy, becomes truly visible. A powerful and compelling account -- Mark Roseman, Professor of History, Indiana University Insightful, illuminating, complex, and convincing... Seven decades and a mountain of monographs later, I wouldn't have thought there'd be much more to say about WWII. Stargardt has proven me wrong -- Robert Moeller, Professor of History, University of California, Irvine Stargardt negotiates the considerable risks of writing from inside German experiences of this brutally destructive war with subtlety, humanity, and wisdom. This is a rich and deeply impressive lesson -- Jane Caplan, Emeritus Fellow, St Antony's College, Oxford
