The Third Reich at War

'Masterly ... will surely be the standard history for many years to come ... This is a warning for the future, as much as a judgement on the past' Richard Overy, Daily TelegraphIn 1939 Hitler mobilized Germany into all-out war. Richard Evans's astonishing, acclaimed history conjures up a whole society plunged into conflict - from generals and front-line soldiers to Hitler Youth activists and middle-class housewives - tracing events from the invasion of Poland and the Battle of Stalingrad to Hitler's plans for genocide and his eventual suicide. The Third Reich at War is a historical masterpiece, showing how Germany rushed headlong into destroying itself and an entire continent.

“'We all know how the story ends €¦ but Richard Evans brings it masterfully home €¦ magnificent' - Peter Preston, Observer'Richard J. Evans's Third Reich at War couldn't have come at a better time. The book may well be not only the finest but also the most riveting account of that period €¦ Evans brilliantly weaves together the diverse strands of the monumental evil at the heart of [the] story. The result is a narrative tapestry we can now see whole.' New York Times”
