What made Germany accept Hitler's dictatorship? This book examines the man behind Nazi Germany, looking at Hitler's personality and his pursuit of power. It describes how the police state was organised and the influence which Nazis had over people's views and lives. The second part of the book looks beyond Germany to Europe and to the slow undoing of the treaty of Versailles. Finally, the years of war bring disaster to both Hitler's ambition and the lives of millions throughout the world.
