The Coming of the Third Reich

“Gripping…magisterial…Will long remain the definitive English language account.” —Benjamin Schwartz, The Atlantic Monthly

“The clearest and most gripping account I’ve read of German life before and during the rise of the Nazis.” —A. S Byatt, Times Literary Supplement

“Impressive in its command of an immense literature, perceptive in analysis, fluent in style and humane in judgement, this work could only have been produced by a master historian.” —Sir Ian Kershaw

“Brilliant.” —Richard Cohen, The Washington Post

“An enormous work of synthesis—knowledgable and reliable.” —Mark Mazower, New York Times Book Review

“One finally puts down this magnificent volume thirsty, on the one hand, for the next installment in the Nazi saga yet still haunted by the questions Evan poses and so masterfully grapples with.” ―Abraham Brumberg, The Nation

“This first part of what will be Evans’ three-volume history of Hitler’s regime is the most comprehensive and convincing work so far on the gall of Weimar and Hitler’s rise to power.” ―Foreign Affairs
