Evans Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2024 by Foreign Policy"Evans . . . offers these eye-opening portraits of the heart of evil in an effort to understand what kind of people fell under Hitlers spell. . . . A meticulously researched, sobering look at the Nazi era and the people who helped bring its evil intents to fruition." —Kirkus Reviews (starred)Through a connected set of biographical portraits of key Nazi figures that follows power as it radiated out from Hitler to the inner and outer circles of the regimes leadership, one of our greatest historians answers the enduring question, how does a society come to carry out a program of unspeakable evil?Richard Evans, author of the acclaimed The Third Reich Trilogy and over two dozen other volumes on modern Europe, is our preeminent scholar of Nazi Germany. Having spent half a century searching for the truths behind one of the most horrifying episodes in human history, in Hitlers People, he brings us back to the original site of the Nazi movement: namely, the lives of its most important members.Working in concentric circles out from Hitler and his closest allies, Evans forms a typological framework of Germany society under Nazi rule from the top down. With a novelists eye for detail, Evans explains the Third Reich through the personal failings and professional ambitions of its members, from its most notorious deputies—like Goebbels, the regimes propagandist, and Himmler, the Holocausts chief architect—to the crucial enforcers and instruments of the Nazi agenda that history has largely forgotten—like the schoolteacher Julius Streicher and the actress Leni Riefenstahl. Drawing on a wealth of recently unearthed historical sources, Hitlers People lays bare the inner and outer lives of the characters whose choices led to the deaths of millions.Nearly a century after Hitlers rise, the leading nations of the West are once again being torn apart by a will to power. By telling the stories of these infamous lives as human lives, Evans asks us to grapple with the complicated nature of complicity, showing us that the distinctions between individual and collective responsibility—and even between pathological evil and rational choice—are never easily drawn.
