Evans, author of the acclaimed Third Reich trilogy and more than a dozen other volumes on modern Europe, is our preeminent scholar of Nazi Ger­many. Having spent half a century searching for the truths behind one of the most horrifying episodes in human history, in \u003ci\u003eHitler's People \u003c\/i\u003ehe brings us back to the original site of the Nazi movement--namely, the lives of its most important and representative members. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWorking in concentric circles out from Hitler and his closest allies, \u003ci\u003eHitler's People \u003c\/i\u003eforms a typological framework of German society under Nazi rule from the top down. With a novelist's eye for detail, Evans explains the Third Reich through the personal characteristics and professional ambitions of its members, from its most notorious deputies--such as Goebbels, the regime's propagandist, and Himmler, the Holocaust's chief architect--to the crucial enforcers and instruments of the Nazi agenda that history has largely forgotten, such as the schoolteacher Julius Streicher or the actress and film director Leni Riefenstahl. Drawing on a wealth of recently unearthed historical sources, \u003ci\u003eHitler's People \u003c\/i\u003elays bare the characters whose choices caused the deaths of millions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNearly a century after Hitler's rise, the leading nations of the west are once again being torn apart by an untamed will to power. By telling the stories of these infamous individuals as human lives, Evans asks us to grapple with the compli­cated nature of agency and complicity, showing us that the distinctions between individual and collective responsibility--and even between pathological evil and rational choice--are never easily drawn.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard J.
