Germany: Jekyll & Hyde: An Eyewitness Analysis of Nazi Germany

After he moved to Britain from Germany in the 1930s Sebastian Haffner became so shocked about the situation in his native country that he wrote this book in an effort to help people understand the danger Hitler presented to the world. Incredibly accessible, it is packed with acute analysis of both Hitler and the German people—from the Nazi leaders all the way down to those who opposed them—and is a must-read for anyone interested in the literature of World War II.
