Summary

'The Hitler Years' provides a year-by-year narrative, fully illustrated, of the road Adolf Hitler mapped out to achieve his dream - the destruction of the European Jewish population. The penultimate title in the Hitler's Germany series, this book marks the end of the Second World War and the Nazi regime. It provides detailed year-by-year analysis of a horrific period of Nazi doctrine, and places into context the events that followed the Nazi Party's rise to power in 1933 and beyond. McDonough skilfully guides readers through the development of early persecution in the 1920s, foreshadowing what was to come once the Nazi Party took power in 1933. He explores the impact of the 1933 Nuremberg Laws, the implementation of pre-war intimidation policies, and the influence of the secret Wannsee Conference on the execution of the `Final Solution'. A meticulous chronicle of the experiences and testimonies of survivors, this book demonstrates how violence against the Jewish population migrated from the beerhall to state bureaucracy. This fully illustrated volume draws together and engages with the latest scholarly research, and makes extensive use of primary sources, presenting a vivid and shocking narrative. A tragic and deadly period in German and European history is brought to life by one of the country's premier scholars.
