Publisher's Synopsis
How did Hitler seduce an entire nation? Hitler was elected to government. To do so he created an environment where the public were seduced into thinking that he was the sort of leader they needed. As Europe lurches to the far right in the 21 st Century, there has never been a better time to learn from the past. This book explains how Hitler took power and in particular: - the significance of the Weimar Republic and Hitler's life. - how Hitler used legal means to destroy democracy. - the aims of the Nazi economic programme. - why the Nazi Propaganda machine was so successful. - the five stages in the persecution of the Jews. - the terror of the SS and the concentration camps. This is a fascinating analysis of this period of history and shows us the danger of legitimising extreme political shifts to the far right.
