PDF The Slave in Greece and Rome (Wisconsin Studies in Classics) by Jean Andreau; Raymond Descat in History

Description

In this remarkable social history of the Third Reich; Detlev J. K. Peukert surveys how ordinary citizens evaded or accepted Nazi policies of repression; terrorism; and racism. Peukert discusses not only the popular consensus that supported Nazism but also the opposition of the German middle class; working class; and youth.“A highly original and informative synthesis of the most exciting new scholarship on Nazi Germany. It gives an intimate insight into people’s beliefs; aspirations; and fears; and it forces us to reassess how Hitler and Auschwitz were possible.”―Mary Nolan; New York Times Book Review“An indispensable text for understanding the social history of Nazi rule.”―Rudy Koshar; American Historical Review“To the historical reconsideration of National Socialism; Mr. Peukert’s book makes a signal contribution by demonstrating the way in which a movement that came to power loudly proclaiming its intention to restore old ways and traditions advanced the cause of modernity almost against its will.”―Gordon A. Craig; New York Review of Books“Everyone interested in the social history of the Third Reich should read Peukert’s book.”―Choice
