The Third Reich: Storming to Power

While I am rating this the same, I did not enjoy it as much as the first in the series: The New Order. However, I see it as possibly the necessary, less interesting middle act sandwiched between tension-building exposition and dramatic conclusion. The story is of Hitler's methodical, purposeful accumulation of political power covers nearly a decade of rallies and manoeuvring. In this, we learn how he was a political chameleon ("no you can't make highways"/"yes, we do the autobahn and it was always my idea", etc.) and betrayed friends with the same ease with which he crushed enemies. Up next, I will find out how this story ends in The SS.

Overall, this series is proving to be better than expected.
