Name as a 2016 Book of the Year by the Spectator A Daily Telegraph
'Book of the Week' (August 2015) Longlisted for 2016 PEN
Hessell-Tiltman Prize Ranked in 100 Best Books of 2015 in the Daily
Telegraph Professor Frank McDonough is one of the leading scholars
and most popular writers on the history of Nazi Germany. Frank
McDonough's work has been described as, 'modern history writing at
its very best...Ground-breaking, fascinating, occasionally deeply
revisionist' by renowned historian Andrew Roberts. Drawing on a
detailed examination of previously unpublished Gestapo case files
this book relates the fascinating, vivid and disturbing accounts of
a cross-section of ordinary and extraordinary people who opposed
the Nazi regime. It also tells the equally disturbing stories of
their friends, neighbours, colleagues and even relatives who were
often drawn into the Gestapo's web of intrigue. The book reveals,
too, the cold-blooded and efficient methods of the Gestapo
officers. This book will also show that the Gestapo lacked the
manpower and resources to spy on everyone as it was reliant on tip
offs from the general public. Yet this did not mean the Gestapo was
a weak or inefficient instrument of Nazi terror. On the contrary,
it ruthlessly and efficiently targeted its officers against clearly
defined political and racial 'enemies of the people'. The Gestapo
will provide a chilling new doorway into the everyday life of the
Third Reich and give powerful testimony from the victims of Nazi
terror and poignant life stories of those who opposed Hitler's
regime while challenging popular myths about the Gestapo.
