Mark Mazower's Hitler's Empire is a provocative account of the rise
and fall of Nazi Europe by one of Britain's leading historians.
Hitler's empire was the largest, most brutal and most ambitious
reshaping of Europe in history. Inspired by the imperial legacy of
those such as the British, the Third Reich cast its shadow from the
Channel Islands to the Caucasus and ruled hundreds of millions.
Yet, as Mark Mazower's groundbreaking new account shows, it was an
empire built on an illusion. From Hitler's plans for vast motorways
crossing an ethnically cleansed Russian steppe, to dreams of a
German super-economy rivalling America's, Mazower reveals the
lethal fusion of mass murder, modern managerialism and colossal
incompetence that underpinned the Nazi New Order. Ultimately
Hitler's empire ended up consuming its own, leaving destruction in
its wake and finishing not just with the downfall of Germany, but
an entire continent. 'Remarkable ... provocative ... an important
new book' Adam Tooze, Sunday Telegraph 'A stunning survey ...
