Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Really good intro to the subject
If you're looking to learn about Nazi Germany this book is a great introduction. Clear and easy to read without being dumbed down. Treats the subject very thoroughly, for example starting with German history in the 1800s and relating how this helped lead to the Nazis. A lot of information is covered but the treatment is lively and not dry. For the non-expert, this is highly recommended.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - hail to a great book!
this is an excellent introduction to nazi germany for the novice. there are so many books on the subject that someone who wants to start learning this can be overwhelmed. well, you don't need to be! start here! this book starts off as to how germany became a country and little wars here and there. next, it carries you into world war one. then, you really get into the nazi germany information. the book carries you into world war 2 and to the downfall of the nazis. finally, it closes with the nurenberg trials. these chapters and in manageable chunks. there, you'll get a basic, overall theme of the beginnings of germany and nazi germany. plus, you get maps! unlike the idiots guide to world war 1, which is another excellent overview of that war. that is recommended as well.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Presented what I expected
This is a very complete summary for anyone interested in pursuing a study in Nazi Germany. It covers a lot of ground with a small number of pages. Important dates and events are all summarized as well as major characters in history. The only problem with this book is that the levels of detail regarding really important scenes in history are only touched on briefly. However, this is understandable since the author had to cover numerous events with a small number of pages. The book serves as a solid work that gives you a complete but general idea as to what happened in Nazi Germany. Serious historians or readers are encouraged to pick up books and other references that focus on specific aspects of history mentioned briefly here. You will know after reading this book whether or not you would like to pursue your studies in this field and what specific areas you may want to focus your studies on.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Hitler persecuting Jews and Christians
Excellent and fair treatment. Shows how Hitler persecuted, imprisoned, tortured and killed not only Jews, but also Christians.

Hitler despised Christianity and Christian morals--far preferring the warlike Islam, Japan's emperor worship, and pre-Christian germanic paganism. Although he himself did not believe in any religion, he wished to utilize religion in his pograms and even tried to create a new cult with himself as the object of worship.

Atheist/Socialist/Humanist/Darwinist leaders were responsible for more deaths during the past century than all of the so-called "religious wars" of all previous centuries combined.
