There are essentially two competing views: one, that Hitler was an all-powerful dictator fully in control of his government; the other, that Nazi decision-making was much more confused, driven by intense power rivalries and a “cumulative radicalism”. Where does the truth lie? Caroline Sharples draws on a whole range of different views to offer her own compelling account of how Hitler used the democratic process to seize power in Germany and create a violent and racist regime responsible for the Holocaust and for the most destructive war in history.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePaperback ISBN: 978-1-907776-88-5\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eContents \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 2\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe causes of war\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy was the rise of Germany so dangerous? \u003cbr\u003eWhat was the effect of the Kaiser’s plan for a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epowerful navy? \u003cbr\u003eHow culpable was Austria-Hungary? \u003cbr\u003eWas Serbia a rogue state? \u003cbr\u003eHow much was Germany to blame? \u003cbr\u003eWas Britain right to join in? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe war\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy did the Schlieffen Plan fail? \u003cbr\u003eWere Britain’s soldiers “lions led by donkeys”?\u003cbr\u003eWhat did the United States think about the war? \u003cbr\u003eWhat were the effects of the terrible battles \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eof 1916? \u003cbr\u003eWhy did the US finally decide to fight? \u003cbr\u003eHow did the war end? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe aftermath\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow fair was the Treaty of Versailles? \u003cbr\u003eHow did the First World War change Europe? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 3\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTES \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGerman militarism \u003cbr\u003eThe role of imperialism \u003cbr\u003eThe rise of nationalism\u003cbr\u003eThe Moroccan crises \u003cbr\u003eBritish complacency \u003cbr\u003eArguing over the causes \u003cbr\u003eSir Edward Grey \u003cbr\u003eTen facts about World War One\u003cbr\u003eGerman atrocities \u003cbr\u003eItaly \u003cbr\u003eDouglas Haig \u003cbr\u003eWar in the Middle East\u003cbr\u003eConscientious objectors \u003cbr\u003eThe leaders of “the Big Three” \u003cbr\u003eThe war poets \u003cbr\u003eThe home front \u003cbr\u003eA brief chronology \u003cbr\u003eFurther reading \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Connell Guides","offers":[{"title":"eBook","offer_id":38438787912,"sku":"","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/4689\/products\/World_War_One.jpg?v=1485182574","url":"https:\/\/connell-guides.myshopify.com\/products\/the-connell-guide-to-world-war-one","provider":"Connell Guides","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
