Berlin, November 1937. In a secret meeting with his top advisors,
Adolf Hitler proclaims the urgent necessity for a war of aggression
in Europe. Some conservatives are unnerved by this grandiose plan,
but they are soon silenced, setting in motion events that will lead
to the most calamitous war in history. Benjamin Carter Hett, the
author of The Death of Democracy, his acclaimed history of the fall
of the Weimar Republic, takes us from Berlin to London, Moscow, and
Washington to show how anti-Nazi forces inside and outside Germany
came to understand Hitler's true menace to European civilisation
and learned to oppose him. Drawing on original sources in German,
English, French, and Russian, including newly released intelligence
documents, he paints a sweeping portrait of governments under
siege, populated by larger-than-life figures like Winston
Churchill, Joseph Stalin, Neville Chamberlain, Franklin Roosevelt,
Joachim von Ribbentrop, and Vyacheslav Molotov. The Nazi Menace
evokes a time when the verities of life were subverted, a time
marked by fake news, cultural unrest over refugees, and the
challenges of national security in a consumerist democracy. To read
Hett's book is to see the 1930s - and our world today - in a new
and unnerving light.
