Any consideration of the 20th century would be incomplete without a
discussion of Nazi Germany, an extraordinary regime which dominated
European history for 12 years, and left a legacy that still echoes
with us today. The incredible force of the destructive vision at
the heart of Nazi Germany led to a second world war when the world
was still aching from the first one, and an incomprehensible death
count, both at home and abroad. In this Very Short Introduction,
Jane Caplan's insightful analysis of Nazi Germany provides a highly
relevant reminder of the fragility of democratic institutions, and
the ways in which the exploitation of national fears, mass
political movements, and frail political opposition can lead to the
imposition of dictatorship. Considering the emergence and popular
appeal of the Nazi party, she discusses the relationships between
belief, consent, and terror in securing the regime, alongside the
crucial role played by Hitler himself. Covering the full history of
the regime, she includes an unflinching look at the dark stains of
war, persecution, and genocide. At the same time, Caplan offers
unexpected angles of vision and insights; asking readers to look
behind the handful of over-used images of Nazi Germany we are
familiar with, and to engage critically with a history that that is
so abhorrent it risks seeming beyond interpretation. ABOUT THE
