The Wages of Destruction by Adam Tooze

The Wages of Destruction by Adam Tooze

"Masterful . . . [A] painstakingly researched, astonishingly erudite study...Tooze has added his name to the roll call of top-class scholars of Nazism." --Financial Times

An extraordinary mythology has grown up around the Third Reich that hovers over political and moral debate even today. Adam Tooze's controversial book challenges the conventional economic interpretations of that period to explore how Hitler's surprisingly prescient vision--ultimately hindered by Germany's limited resources and his own racial ideology--was to create a German super-state to dominate Europe and compete with what he saw as America's overwhelming power in a soon-to- be globalized world. The Wages of Destruction is a chilling work of originality and tremendous scholarship that set off debate in Germany and will fundamentally change the way in which history views the Second World War.

Wages of Destruction, which won the Wolfson and Longman History Today Award, was written by Adam Tooze. At Columbia University, he is the Kathyrn and Shelby Cullom Davis Professor of History. He previously taught at Yale University and the University of Cambridge, where he was Director of International Security Studies. He has contributed to the National Intelligence Council and worked in executive development for several big corporations. Foreign Affairs, the Financial Times, the Guardian, the Sunday Telegraph, the Wall Street Journal, Die Zeit, Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Tageszeitung, and Spiegel Magazine, New Left Review, and the London Review of Books are among the publications for which he has written and reviewed.
