Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Following the success of Rees's best-selling Auschwitz, this substantially revised and updated edition of The Nazis - A Warning from History tells the powerfully gripping story of the rise and fall of the Third Reich.
During a 16-year period, acclaimed author and documentary-maker Laurence Rees met and interviewed a large number of former Nazis, and his unique insights into the Nazi psyche and World War II received enormous praise.
At the heart of the book lie compelling eyewitness accounts of life under Adolf Hitler, spoken through the words of those who experienced the Nazi regime at every level of society. An extensive new section on the Nazi/Soviet war (previously published in Rees' War of the Century) provides a chilling insight into Nazi mentality during the most bloody conflict in history.
Described as one of the greatest documentary series of all times The Nazis - A Warning from History won a host of awards, including a BAFTA and an International Documentary Award.

An important reminder of how easily the mob is mobilised
Should be mandatory learning for all school children and tied into the current manipulation of the media in nationalist direction.

Sombre yet enticing.
I don't understand how this book collects any bad reviews at all as it is absolutely fantastic to listen to as an audiobook and really helps send the image home of Nazi life and beliefs.

Astounding and sad
I have read many books by Laurence Rees but this one is a must. To think the events here happened less than 100 years ago is a chilling reminder of what happens when populism and nationalism become common politics. This is surely a must read for schools the world over, for if we fail to learn we are doomed to repeat.

Good listen.
Very good listen. It’s difficult to speak about the Nazis without becoming a narrative of WW2 and that does happen. A few areas that are not covered are the ‘strength through joy’ holidays and cruises, and the 1936 olympics are only touched on.

A warning from history
The book is a companion piece to the BBC documentary series of the same name which covers the rise, decline, and fall of the Nazis and Adolf Hitler.
An overview of every cruel act carried out by the Nazi regime before and during WWII through the use of interviews of eyewitnesses and the perpetrators themselves.
The narration is great and very apt for such an important historical account of the time.

Powerful
This was a book I stayed with until the end. Powerful narration and terrifying graphic descriptions of war and cruelty. Worth buying this book. Laurence Rees is a first rate author and historian.
