Critics Review
‘This is a monumental book.’ Richard Overy, Sunday Telegraph ‘If I had to recommend one book on the Third Reich, this would be it.’ Daniel Johnson, Daily Telegraph ‘It is a breathtaking achievement, at once broader and deeper than any other single volume ever published on the subject. Indeed I would go further: it is the product of authentic historical genius.’ Niall Ferguson, Sunday Times ‘Happily, Michael Burleigh now fills that bibliographical gap, with a readable and highly knowledgeable account of that ghastly period. You will never be bored by this extraordinary book.’ Andrew Roberts, Mail on Sunday
