A few of my friends have asked me of any books about Germany 1918-1945 as we are studing the Weimar Republic and the rise of Nazism in Germany so can any body recommend a good historical book about the period. Thanks
Try these: The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, by William Shirer The Third Reich: A New History, by Michael Burleigh A Social History of Nazi Germany, by Richard Grunberger Trail Sinister, by Sefton Delmer Berlin Diary, by William Shirer Inside the Third Reich, by Albert Speer Speer: His Battle With Truth, by Gitta Sereny There's a new book out, called The Coming of the Third Reich, whose author I cannot remember.

[post=28199]Quoted post[/post] The author is Richard J Evans. It is an excellent study of the rise of the Nazis and their early days in power and I eagerly await the next book in this series. On a slightly less serious level, Len Deighton's novel Winter is a fascinating story of a better off Berlin family from 1900 to 1945. The story is a prequel to his Game, Set and Match espionage trilogy. Plus, of course, there are Christopher Isherwood's writings from the 1930s, but I have not read them.
