A Deep Exploration of the Rise, Reign, and Legacy of the Third
Reich For its brief existence, National Socialist Germany was one
of the most destructive regimes in the history of humankind. Since
that time, scholarly debate about its causes has volleyed
continuously between the effects of political and military
decisions, pathological development, or modernity gone awry. Was
terror the defining force of rule, or was popular consent critical
to sustaining the movement? Were the German people sympathetic to
Nazi ideology, or were they radicalized by social manipulation and
powerful propaganda? Was the "Final Solution" the motivation for
the Third Reich's rise to power, or simply the outcome? A Companion
to Nazi Germany addresses these crucial questions with historical
insight from the Nazi Party's emergence in the 1920s through its
postwar repercussions. From the theory and context that gave rise
to the movement, through its structural, cultural, economic, and
social impacts, to the era's lasting legacy, this book offers an
in-depth examination of modern history's most infamous reign.

regime Provides deep insight into labor, education, research, and
home life amidst the Third Reich's ideological imperatives

questions about the present. Exploring key motivations,
environments, and cause and effect, this book provides essential
perspective as radical nationalist movements have once again
