This is a small book but it contains a lot of information. It gives an overview of Nazi Germany and it is easy to read and get throuh. However, it can be a little dry at times since it is pretty much a textbook. However, I recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning more about the subject and doesn't want to read a huge volume.
