This is the first of a comprehensive ten-volume history of the
Second World War, written from the German perspective and
translated for the first time into English. The volumes so far
published have achieved international acclaim as a major
contribution to historical study. Under the auspices of the
Militargeschichtliches Forschungsamt (Research Institute for
Military History), a team of renowned historians has combined a
full synthesis of existing material with the latest research to
produce what will be the definitive history of the Second World
War. This volume, The Build-up of German Aggression, surveys the
forces both within and outside Weimar Germany which paved the way
for Hitler. The authors examine the systematic preparation for war,
from the outset of Nazi rule, through rearmament, economic autarky,
diplomacy, and the penetration of German society at all levels.
They consider the extent to which the movement can be regarded as a
continuation of historic German nationalism; the limits of Hitler's
involvement with the army and big business; and the lack of
coordination between the administration and the armed services. The
book demonstrates that, despite Nazi propaganda and in stark
contrast to 1914, most Germans in 1939 opposed a war which they
nevertheless endured with such tragic consequences. Intensively
researched and documented, Germany and the Second World War is an
undertaking of unparalleled scope and authority. It will prove
indispensable to all historians of the twentieth century.
