ISBN10: 1594203148, ISBN13: 9781594203145, [publisher: The Penguin Press] Hardcover The Third Reich did not surrender until Germany had been left in ruins and almost completely occupied. Even in the near-apocalyptic final months, when the war was plainly lost, they Nazis refused to sue for peace, and the regime instead had to be stamped out with a level of brutality that is almost without precedent. Historically, this is extremely rare. Drawing on original testimony from ordinary Germans and arch-Nazis alike, award-winning historian Ian Kershaw explores the question as to how Nazi Germany was able to hold out as long as it did, in a gripping and focused narrative that begins with the failed bomb plot in July 1944 and ends with the German capitulation in May 1945, As Kershaw shows, the structure of Hitler’s “charismatic rule” created a powerful negative bond between him and the Nazi leadership â€" they had no future without him, and so their fates were inextricably tied. Terror also helped the Third Reich maintain its grip on power as the regime began to wage war not only on its ideologically defined enemies, but also on the German people themselves. Based on prodigious new research, Ian Kershaw has produced a harrowing yet enthralling portrait of the Third Reich in its last desperate gasps.
