Kristallnacht by Martin Gilbert
Looks at the buildup to and aftermath of one of the most decisive moments of the Second World War - Kristallnacht - not only for the Jewish population suddenly identified as a group to be destroyed, but also in terms of the international response it inspired and its larger implications.
Praise for EMPIRES IN CONFLICT: 'Martin Gilbert is the most prodigious author of our time! He is a phenomenon who arouses envy among less productive professional historians! He has a fine eye for a telling passage and a memorable detail' John Ramsden, Financial Times Praise for HISTORY OF THE 20TH CENTURY: 'In his great work, the writing is lucid, the pace perfectly judged, the evidence vividly conjured. The horrors are heightened by a style of almost Confucian reticence, which teaches without didacticism. In Gilbert's vision of history, the vast range never blurs the human scale.' Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, Sunday Times
