The Hitler Years: Triumph, 1933 - 1939 by Frank McDonough
On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed the German chancellor of a coalition government by President Hindenburg. Within a few months, he had installed a dictatorship, jailing and killing his left-wing opponents, terrorizing the rest of the population, and driving Jews out of public life. He embarked on a crash program of militaristic Keynesianism, reviving the economy and achieving full employment through massive public works, vast armaments spending, and the cancellations of foreign debts. After the grim years of the Great Depression, Germany seemed to have been reborn as a brutal and determined European power.
From 1933 to 1939, Hitler won over most of the population with his vision of a renewed Reich. In these years of domestic triumph and cunning maneuvers, pitting neighboring powers against each other and biding his time, we see Hitler preparing for the moment that would realize his ambition. But what drove Hitler's success was also to be the fatal flaw of his regime: a relentless belief in war as the motor of greatness, a dream of vast conquests in Eastern Europe, and an astonishingly fanatical racism.
In The Hitler Years: Triumph, Frank McDonough charts the rise and fall of the Third Reich under Hitler through Germany's comprehensive military defeat of Poland in 1939.
