'Walther's writing is persuasive and free of dramatic tricks or kitschy emotionalism' * Su ddeutsche Zeitung *

'Gripping both as German history and as a timely warning for us all of how otherwise sane people can fatally overestimate the survivability of democracy, and keep scrabbling for petty advantage even as the darkness gather' -- James Hawes, author of The Shortest History of Germany 'A brilliant mix of detailed research and vivid storytelling, this intriguing account of Germany's terrifying slide from democracy to dictatorship is truly hard to put down' -- Julia Boyd, author of Travellers in the Third Reich 'An astonishing achievement, meticulously researched, beautifully written, full of surprises both terrifying and deeply revelatory. This is history as its very best - and a fabulous translation, too' -- Graham Hurley, author of Last Flight to Stalingrad
