From the reviews of Nazi Germany "The best one-volume history of
the Third Reich available.It fills a void which has existed for a
long time and it will probably become the basic text for
generations of students. Walter Laqueur "An indispensable,
compellingly readable political, military and social history of the
Third Reich. Publishers Weekly From the reviews of History of an
Obsession. "This is truly a significant work, for Fischer gives a
balanced account of a complex subject, making it painfully clear
just how Germany became capable of genocide. Booklist Fischer
writes with a clear mastery of both primary and secondary sources.
Synthesizing a wide spectrum of literature into a fine, scholarly
work. Library Journal. No decade since the end of World War II has
been as seminal in its historical significance as the 1960s. That
stormy period unleashed a host of pent-up social and generational
conflicts that had not been experienced since the Civil War:
intense racial and ethnic strife, cold war terror, the Vietnam War,
counter-cultural protests, controversial social engineering, and
political rancor. Numerous studies on various aspects of these
issues have been written over the past 35 years, but few have so
successfully integrated the many-sided components into a coherent,
synthetic, and reliable book that combines good storytelling with
sound scholarly analysis. The main materials covered will be the
Kennedy and Johnson presidencies; the Civil Rights movement; the
Vietnam War and the protest it generated; the New Left, student
radicals, and Black student militancy; and, finally, the
counter-cultural side of the 60s: hippies, sex and Rock n Roll.
