Publisher's Synopsis
Distinguished Yale historian Henry Ashby Turner, Jr., makes an important and influential addition to his lifelong study of Nazi Germany. Hitlers Thirty Days to Power paints vivid portraits of the main players in the drama of January 1933 and, using newly available documents, masterfully recreates the bewildering circumstances surrounding Hitlers unexpected appointment as chancellor of Germany. The result is a work that Booklist calls first ratea gripping, foreboding narrative.
