El final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial no supuso el comienzo de la paz, sino la transición a conflictos con una localización más lejana derivados de un choque de ideologías más amplio. La caída de los imperios coloniales occidentales tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial conllevó un gran número de feroces luchas por el poder cuyas sangrientas consecuencias nos persiguen todavía hoy.

It took me a while to get through this 965-page book, but it was worth it. This book is a very detailed history of the Nazi Regime, starting with Hitler's violent path to becoming Germany's dictator and continuing through the transformation of a country struggling to recover from The Great War to the dehumanized killing machine it became. It gives a thoroughly horrifying account of the atrocities of the war itself. Also, it provides theories and political analysis of the personal and international agendas that propelled the world into this epic shit storm. It's incomprehensible to imagine one man's hate-filled vision could persuade an entire country to exterminate another race, but it is even more sickening that it happened. Hitler and the Nazis were evil and caused millions and millions of innocents to die. They will be a stain on our history forever, one, I hope, is never repeated.… (mais)

Buena obra que realiza un paneo de toda la segunda guerra pero desde el punto de vista de las opciones morales. campos de concentración, bombardeos, crimenes de guerra, y la protección de algunos criminales por opciones geopolíticas

A comprehensively informative and disturbing telling of the gradual collapse of all moral & ethical values in 1920s-30s-40s Germany: an incredibly depressing view of one of the great civilizations of Europe failing in every aspect of its social, spiritual, economic, philosophical, political life to defend the immensely impressive cultural inheritance from previous generations that until 1918 was the story of the Rise of the German state.
Not all Germans were Nazis and not all Germans were evil, however, my goodness this book does not spare the inter-war years German population from a magnifying glass exposure of just how they collectively came to allow an extraordinarily extremist, near death-cult regime to settle and assert itself in and over them: Hitler's Nazism not only took over their lives, but had them actively participate in spectacularly huge numbers from the lowest level of street society through to the families of ancient nobility & landowning & industrial conglomerates all the way to those intimately linked with the great panoply of affairs of State.
The author has written an enlightening version of the tragedy of Germany between the World Wars that compares favourably with any other Historian's tome detailing one of the darkest most depraved periods in humankind's alleged civilized existence.
