The Nazi Dictatorship: Problems & Perspectives of Interpretation, Paperback Book, By: Ian Kershaw

The author also examines resistance to the regime within Germany suggesting ways of approaching this still most contentious of issues. In addition to the two new chapters that carry discussion of these matters, there are a great many minor and some more substantial changes to the original text. For example, in the light of recent research, there is a reassessment of the timing and decision-making in the genesis of Nazi genocide of the Jews.
