The second book in Richard J. Evans's successful trilogy on the rise and fall of Nazi Germany, The Third Reich in Power: How the Nazis Won the Hearts and Minds of a Nation, explores how Hitler transformed Germany from a vibrant democracy into a one-party state. Before taking power in 1933, Germany was renowned for its sophisticated and complex nature. How was it possible for a group of ideological obsessives to reshape it into a one-party state geared towards war and racial hatred? How did the Nazis manage to win the hearts and minds of Germany's citizens, distort science, religion, and culture, and transform the country’s politics to achieve total domination so quickly?

From the Nuremberg Laws to the Olympic Games, from Kristallnacht to the Hitler Youth, this compelling narrative shows how an entire population became embroiled in a dictatorship consumed by hatred and driven by war.

Sir Richard J. Evans is a professor of Modern History at the University of Cambridge. His previous books include In Defense of History, Lying About Hitler, and the companions to this title, The Coming of the Third Reich and The Third Reich at War.
