really liked it

Though the book is quite long (1000+ pages) yet interesting. it gives an insight into the governance system of the Third Reich established by Adolf Hitler. Apart from "Mein Kampf" and captured secret german documents, the writer has done much research work to produce truth over rumors, He has taken diaries of high-ranking officers who had served the Third Reich or Mussolini or any other government in times of war.
however I feel, atrocities of the holocaust and concentration camps are not described widely. also allied war crimes after the war finished in 1945 are not mentioned (The mass rape by the red army etc.), I agree that this book is about the Third Reich yet what civilians tolerated after the bloody war should be taken into account.
i recommend this book to everyone who desires to read the history of the Third Reich as it was. ( No propaganda but truth based on captured documents)
