Today's book

[jodg]

Why is that bizarre? Is Preston 'today's Third Reich'?

Read a great book about the rise of the Third Reich not so long back. Looks at the hows, whys and wherefores, from the establishment of the Weimar republic up to the end. V good.

Should be read in conjunction with Correlli Barnett's The Collapse of British Power. I read 'em back to back. Fascinating. (I had a lot of time to kill - 2hr each way bus journey to/from Manchester)

Thanks for the tips - have added Burleigh's book to my wishlist. Corelli's is out of print at the mo' and 2nd hand copies go for a fortune.
