They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45

Some tremendous sections in here. A chilling read in November 2023, 85 years after Kristallnacht, when a small group of Nazis marched down State St in Madison, Wisconsin yesterday. The back third of the book trying to suss out the “German” character doesn’t hold up well at all, but the first 15 chapters are full of insights and recognizable people who fill the MAGA movement here.
