360 Pages
German-born historian Weinberg offers a new perspective on German history in relation to Hitler and the formulation of German foreign policy. These essays explore the underlying concept that Allied and Axis leaders alike realized that a top-to-bottom reconstruction of the world order was at stake in the war.
Weinberg illuminates the nature of Nazism and its impact on Germany and the world. He also examines the relationship between European and Pacific theaters and successfully outlines what he considers problems in methodology of historical research and analysis.
A valuable work for anyone wishing a refreshing angle on the geopolitical realities of the period and their culmination in the greatest war in human history. Recommended for diplomatic and military history collections.
