This book fills a major gap in the current spate of books on the Nazis and their leader. It provides the reader with a pictorial history of the events in Germany from 1918 to 1945. The elaborate symbolism and psychology of Nazism and the complex personality of Hitler himself are studied in detail through a wealth of carefully chosen illustrations which include still photographs, film clips, posters, cartoons and propaganda material. The result is a wholly absorbing cultural and social history of Nazism, much of it drawn from sources never used in a book before.
