Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

How does a democracy become a dictatorship?

The collapse of Nazi Germany did not begin on the battlefields of 1945. It began years earlier, amid political crisis, economic hardship, propaganda, fear, and the gradual destruction of democratic institutions.

The Reich That Promised Forever traces the rise and collapse of Nazi Germany from the aftermath of the First World War through the fall of Berlin and the end of the Third Reich.

The book examines the forces that brought Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party to power, the destruction of the Weimar Republic, the creation of a totalitarian state, the machinery of propaganda and repression, and the transformation of German society under Nazi rule.

It follows the regime's racial policies and persecution, the expansion of the police state, the Holocaust and mass murder, the development of the German war machine, and the major campaigns of the Second World War-from Poland and France to Britain, the Soviet Union, North Africa, and the final battles in Germany.

But this is also a history of people: political leaders, soldiers, workers, families, victims, resisters, and ordinary citizens caught inside a system that increasingly demanded obedience.

The final chapters examine the destruction of the Third Reich, the discovery of the concentration camps, the Nuremberg trials, the fate of Nazi leaders, and Germany's difficult transition after 1945.

A detailed historical account of how a regime built on ideology, propaganda, violence, and expansion rose to power-and how it ultimately collapsed into ruin.
