Summary: Good collection of essays, but not an introductory text.
Comment: "The Nazi Revolution: Hitler's Dictatorship and the German Nation," (Problems in European Civilization)
by Allan Mitchell (Editor) is a wonderful up-to-date collection of essays from top-notch historians on the current historical debates surrounding the causes and actions of the Nazi Revolution.

Books from the PROBLEMS IN EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION SERIES are designed for upper-level undergraduate and graduate level European history courses. That being said, this book is not an introductory text. The authors of the articles go directly into their subjects, without providing any significant background information. Therefore, you need to have an historical base level of knowledge to work from. Nonetheless, it is an excellent tool for students, scholars and general readers of modern European history.

The text is best used in class discussions and debate.

An excellent representation of Nazi historical scholarship.

Rating: 1
Summary: Not worth the money
Comment: This book is a compilation of articles that are extremely disappointing and unhistorical. There are many psychoanalytical articles on Adolf Hitler, which is a method of study that most traditional historians reject as quackery. There are articles that use discredited facts in order to "prove" that Hitler was some kind of inhumane monster. The editor even writes in the introduction that he is taking a look at Nazism with an "elementary morality." It is quite disturbing to see how many historians actually feel morally obligated to condemn Hitler instead of using fact to illustrate his thoughts and actions. This book would be better suited for a class on ethics, but it is certainly not history.
