{"product_id":"the-third-reich-a-chronicle","title":"The Third Reich: A Chronicle","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Third Reich was the twelve-year period (1933 to 1945) during which the Nazi Party held untrammelled power in Germany. Defined by the messianic  iconic figure of Adolf Hitler  self-proclaimed Fuhrer  it is perhaps the central era of twentieth-century history. Beginning with Hitlers election as German chancellor in January 1933  it witnessed the wholesale militarization of German society  the imposition of anti-Semitic legislation  mass persecution of Jews  communists  gypsies  homosexuals and Slavs in the Holocaust  and the pursuit of territorially aggressive policies (based on Hitlers concept of Lebensraum) that would lead to global conflict on an unprecedented scale  culminating in the decline and fall of Nazism. The Third Reich: A Chronicle charts the rise and fall of Nazi power in a concise and compelling month-by-month narrative of the period 1933-45  amplified by extensive quotations from letters  diaries and oral testimony  and accompanied by generously captioned and stunning images of the era - including portraits  maps  posters  seals  documents and other artefacts. Additional use is made of timelines and fact boxes to create a uniquely accessible and user-friendly companion to a tangled and difficult period in European history. Commanding  informative and sumptuous  and written by a scholar who is steeped in knowledge of the period  The Third Reich: A Chronicle brings the bloody realities of war  conquest and genocide vividly to life. It is the perfect book for anyone with a fascination for the twentieth century  World War II and the age of dictators.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964429201461,"sku":"ByrdShop_1849162352","price":57.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781849162357.jpg?v=1770460839","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-third-reich-a-chronicle","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
