REGISTERThe millennial Reich envisaged by Hitler lasted only a dozen or so years, but that was more than enough to make Nazism one of the worst and most devastating chapters of the 20th century and indeed of all history. This history of Nazism addresses the rise of its founder and leader, the context ensuing from Germany’s defeat in World War I which allowed Nazism to take root, the advent of Hitler’s dictatorship in 1933, his outrageous dream of grandeur and dominion, and the disaster of European and world war. Corni, a major expert of 20th century German history, offers readers an articulate account of National Socialism’s parable, stretching from Hitler’s political ascent to the war and including its dramatic consequences for the German population.
Gustavo Corni teaches Contemporary History at the University of Trento.
