This is an outstanding account, brimming with insight, by two of the most distinguished scholars of Nazi Germany working in the English language today. * Neil Gregor, Professor of Modern European History, University of Southampton, UK * With Nazi Germany Pamela Swett and Jonathan Wiesen have done a great service to everyone who teaches courses on this difficult subject. Their book incorporates all of the latest findings in the rapidly developing research, and does things that no other textbook does – including its extensive exploration of sex and gender in the Third Reich, and its treatment of Nazi Germany and the world. What Swett and Wiesen write is always sensitive, nuanced, and balanced. They explain this complex history with admirable clarity in a way that is perfectly pitched for an undergraduate classroom. I think Nazi Germany is destined to become the standard textbook in its field. * Benjamin Hett, Professor of History, Hunter College and Graduate Center, USA *
