The Coming of the Third Reich by Richard Evans

The Coming of the Third Reich by Richard Evans

Brilliant. --Washington Post

The clearest and most gripping account I've read of German life before and during the rise of the Nazis. --A. S Byatt, Times Literary Supplement

The generalist reader, it should be emphasized, is well served. . . . The book reads briskly, covers all important areas--social and cultural--and succeeds in its aim of giving voice to the people who lived through the years with which it deals. --Denver Post

There is no story in twentieth-century history more important to understand than Hitler's rise to power and the collapse of civilization in Nazi Germany. With The Coming of the Third Reich, Richard Evans, one of the world's most distinguished historians, has written the definitive account for our time. A masterful synthesis of a vast body of scholarly work integrated with important new research and interpretations, Evans's history restores drama and contingency to the rise to power of Hitler and the Nazis, even as it shows how ready Germany was by the early 1930s for such a takeover to occur. The Coming of the Third Reich is a masterwork of the historian's art and the book by which all others on the subject will be judged.

Evans was born in London and went to Oxford University for his education. He has taught at Columbia University and Birkbeck, University of London, and has been Regius Professor Emeritus of History at Cambridge since 2014. An celebrated three-volume history of the Third Reich and a new collection of essays, The Third Reich in History and Memory, are among his many writings. He is a past recipient of the Wolfson History Prize and was twice a History Honoree at the Los Angeles Times Book Awards. He is a Fellow of the British Academy and the Royal Society of Literature. In 2012, he was knighted in the Queen's birthday honors list for his contributions to scholarship.
