Hitler and Nazi Germany

Description

Frank McDonough provides an authoritative, balanced and up-to-date study of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. His text offers a refreshing perspective on the period, by shifting the central focus away from Hitler the man onto his role in the broad socio-economic, political and cultural developments of the period. Among the developments and issues explored are the relationship between the Nazi state and the economy, the impact of the Nazi regime on German society and culture, Nazi foreign policy and Hitler's role in the Holocaust. Hitler and Nazi Germany contains a range of primary sources with questions.

"This solid and straightforward title, however, was designed primarily for the classroom. Professor McDonough provides a good overview of the Nazi era in Germany. In a sense, his work here is more functional than inspried; there are no surprises in its pages, and the author is certainly no historical revisionist. The educational uses for this volume are obvious. In addition, it provides a good overview for adults who want to become familiar with the most pivotal events of the modern era." Kliatt "McDonough is neither strident nor sensationalistic. Almost neutral in tone, he simply allows the Nazis and their supporters to condemn themselves by their own actions and lets the results speak for themselves." Kliatt, Wellesley MA, Raymond L. Puffer, Ph.D. "...McDonough has produced a clearly written and well-organized book that incorporates the findings of important recent scholarship." Teaching History
