Reviews
'An outstanding study, wide-ranging yet concise with vivid examples and pointers to fresh scholarship. Steinweis expertly guides the reader through complex issues, highlighting the interconnectedness of Nazi expansionism and racial policy, and offering cogent reflections on the relationship between the Nazi regime and the German people.' Elizabeth Harvey, University of Nottingham 'This is an admirably lucid, reliable, and comprehensive account that will benefit students and specialists alike. Bringing to bear a wide variety of source materials and angles of vision, Steinweis provides not only a fine introduction to the history of Nazi Germany, but also a sure footed guide to the state of knowledge on a host of formerly or currently contested issues. Highly recommended.' Peter Hayes, Northwestern University 'Many Germans persuaded themselves they were building a “people's community”; instead, they enabled a dictatorship. Alan Steinweis explores how the Nazi elite achieved this but also deftly incorporates recent insights from social and cultural history to show both approval and rejection of Nazi policy among the population at large.' Geoffrey J. Giles, University of Florida
