The Third Reich at War
- The final volume in Richard J. Evans’s masterly trilogy on the history of Nazi Germany traces the rise and fall of German military might, the mobilization of a “people’s community” to serve a war of conquest, and Hitler’s campaign of racial subjugation and genocide
The final volume in Richard J. Evansâ€™s masterly trilogy on the history of Nazi Germany traces the rise and fall of German military might, the mobilization of a â€œpeopleâ€™s communityâ€ to serve a war of conquest, and Hitlerâ€™s campaign of racial subjugation and genocide

Already hailed as â€œa masterpieceâ€ (William Grimes in The New York Times) and â€œthe most comprehensive historyâ€¦ of the Third Reichâ€ (Ian Kershaw), this epic trilogy reaches its terrifying climax in this volume.

Evans interweaves a broad narrative of the warâ€™s progress with viscerally affecting personal testimony from a wide range of peopleâ€”from generals to front-line soldiers, from Hitler Youth activists to middle-class housewives. The Third Reich at War lays bare the dynamics of a nation more deeply immersed in war than any society before or since. Fresh insights into the conflictâ€™s great events are here, from the invasion of Poland to the Battle of Stalingrad to Hitlerâ€™s suicide in the bunker. But just as important is the re-creation of the daily experience of ordinary Germans in wartime, staggering under pressure from Allied bombing and their own governmentâ€™s mounting demands upon them. At the center of the book is the Nazi extermination of Europeâ€™s Jews, set in the context of Hitlerâ€™s genocidal plans for the racial restructuring of Europe.

Blending narrative, description and analysis, The Third Reich at War creates an engrossing pictureâ€”at once sweeping and preciseâ€”of a society rushing headlong to self-destruction and taking much of Europe with it. It is the culmination of a historical masterwork that will remain the most authoritative work on Nazi Germany for years to come.
