For a concise analysis and overview of Nazism and its effect on Germany and the rest of the world, so readable yet so thorough that it should be of value to students, their teachers, and history buffs alike, look no further. Perfectly organized and written in lucid, no-frills prose, Nazism and War shows precisely how, from the moment of its peacetime inception, German National Socialism National Socialism or Nazism, doctrines and policies of the National Socialist German Workers' party, which ruled Germany under Adolf Hitler from 1933 to 1945.  was committed solely to war as both its cause and effect and was uniquely driven entirely by racism and hatred. Bessel's book is divided into four sections: the aftermath of WW I and the face-saving myth of the undefeated but betrayed German soldier, which Hitler nurtured and exploited to rise to power; the path to WW II and the Nazi attempt to impose upon Europe a hierarchy of human worth drawn along racial lines; the conduct of the war and the monstrous actualization actualization Psychiatry The realization of one's full potential  of the Nazi ideology; and the end of the war, with its widespread social, economic, and political consequences.

Wilson delivers a low-key, crisp, objective performance. This is a mesmerizing mes·mer·ize
