Michael Burleigh, The Third Reich: A New History

Michael Burleigh, The Third Reich: A New History: Not only the product of a genuine historical genius this towering masterpiece is writen with the clarity coherence sensitivity and narrative drive of a first rate novelist. Burleighs tremendous scholarship illuminates and assures rather than intimidates while the ethical and politico-philosophical under pinnings of the book offer real and radical new insight to the modern reader. I have read all the standard texts but this is the book to read if you want to understand this terrible phenomenom rather than feed an all too common purient interest in the almost pornographic detailing of the outrages of the shoah.

Michael Burleigh, The Third Reich: A New History - Michael Burleigh's book Third Reich: A New History is incomplete and documents only one part of history, as do the majority of history books still being used in our school systems.

In order to write a complete book over historical facts and theories one has to seek information from several countries including the United States, and in different languages.

It is also clear that history is an evolving subject and must continue to be updated.
