"In what seems like an almost insurmountable challenge, Caplan succeeds in describing the details of the ""horrifying"" main events of this historical catastrophe, and identifying its main criminals, without simplifying. And she writes with an ""edge"" that is missing in many history narratives. * Graham Forst, Jewish Independent * In this brilliant concise account, Caplan succeeds in outlining the startling rise and devastating impact of National Socialism in Germany under Hitler, conveying both illustrative detail and the broad shape of developments, as well as finely balancing different historical interpretations. A major achievement. * Professor Mary Fulbrook, University College London *"
