Publisher's Synopsis
A guide to the Nazis which deals with the subject effectively through a focus on the least studied (but arguably most interesting) areas of the Party and Era. Everything from how the Nazis originated and rose to power, to who they were and what happened to them after the war can be found within. By taking an in depth look at this dark time in history we can acknowledge and respect the horrors of the regime, but also see what many would view today as some positives, from social movements, to a strong Governing body to ground-breaking policies and practices. Furthermore, by learning how these charismatic revolutionaries turned evil politicians transformed a nation and changed human history forever it becomes possible to see many parallels in today's world, be it the over punishment of nations, how disruptive small-scale organisations can suddenly wreak havoc, to the manner in which nationwide hardship provides opportunities. The Last part of the book explores what happened to the Nazis after the Fall of the Reich. Many view the end of the war as the fall of the National Socialist Movement and the extinction of its core leaders, but further study reveals a less public, but far more interesting end to this era.
