Hitler: 1889-1936 Hubris
Ian Kershaw

W. W. Norton & Company, 2000

Anticipating "what Hitler wanted"
This is a long and very detailed book. I knew it was not going to be easy reading when I started it. To my surprise, the first part of the book was quite compelling and not at all difficult to read. At about the halfway point of the book's nearly 600 pages of text, ...
  
  











  



  
The "Hitler Myth": Image and Reality in the Third Reich
Ian Kershaw

Oxford University Press, USA, 2001

Solid work
Kershaw is probably more famous now for his two part bio of Hitler, but he wrote this book around 1980 and it is still one of the best works on how propaganda painted a picture of the Fuhrer. What one finds out through reading this book is a glmpse into everyday life ...

Fateful Choices: Ten Decisions That Changed the World, 1940-1941
Ian Kershaw

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008

When the world hung in the balance
For those familiar with Kershaw primarily through his definitive two-volume biography of Adolf Hitler, 'Fateful Choices' might seem, at first glance, like a comparatively light-weight book with a 'what-if' gimmick at its core: what if England had sought a negotiated ...
  
  











  



  
Hitler: 1936-1945: Nemesis
Ian Kershaw

W. W. Norton & Company, 2001

Excellent
To be sure, military historians may be upset because Kershaw doesn't cover every little thing when it comes to the war, but this is the place to start and finish when it comes to Hitler from 1936-1945. The book is very well written and highly readable. If you want ...
  
  











  



  
Fateful Choices: Ten Decisions That Changed the World, 1940-1941
Ian Kershaw

Penguin Press HC, The, 2007

Very well researched. An excellent read.
Ian Kershaw's book is an elegantly-written masterful work of history but rather dense at some points and more of an academic nature than an easy read. In "Fateful Choices" Kershaw cast a critical eye over ten decisions taken during a 19-month period at the beginning of ...
  
  











  



  
Making Friends with Hitler: Lord Londonderry, the Nazis, and the Road to War
Ian Kershaw

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2005

"Anglo-German Fellowship"
Ian Kershaw continues to add to his list of extraordinarily valuable books on Nazi-era Germany in this volume focusing on Lord Londonderry's activities prior to the World War II. Londonderry (ironically, a cousin of Churchill) took the lead in attempting to improve ...
  
  











  



  
Hitler, the Germans, and the Final Solution
Ian Kershaw

Yale University Press, 2008

German's Hatred
This book explains further how the German people allowed repression by abstention. By allowing laws that discriminated against Jews the German people who had a history of dislike for Jews ignored the subtle and not so subtle hatred of Jews to become part of the fabric ...
  
  











  



  
Hitler (2nd Edition) (Profiles in Power Series)
Ian Kershaw

Longman, 2000

Excellent study by the best Hitler biographer
Ian Kershaw is the premier historian on Hitler and Nazi Germany and this book from the Profiles in Power series is an excellent study on the roots, success, and ultimate destruction of the "Fuehrercult." Two schools of thought are used by historians to understand the ...
  
  











  



  
The Nazi Dictatorship: Problems and Perspectives of Interpretation
Ian Kershaw

A Hodder Arnold Publication, 2000

Not for casual reading
This book is a collection of short and dense summaries of other prominent works written on Nazism. Thoroughly researched and contanining a wealth of information, Kershaw's work is a valuable introduction for any researcher or college student. However, I think the ...
  
  











  



  
Weimar: Why Did German Democracy Fail (Debates in Modern History)

Palgrave Macmillan, 1990

what I wrote before the wall came down
IN Ian Kershaw's introduction he describes Weimar as an expression of modernity, in that during the 14 years of the Republic, 'nearly all the possibilities of modern existence were played out and in a whole number of scientific, technological and cultural spheres, the ...
  
  











  



  
Hitler 1889-1936
Ian Kershaw

Peninsular Publishing Company, 2004
  
  











  



  
Stalinism and Nazism: Dictatorships in Comparison

Cambridge University Press, 1997

Interesting insights
The book sets a good basis for comparative sociology of power and legitimacy. It observes two dictators who at least these days seem to be the most despised leaders of the 20th century. Lewin and Kershaw have brought together a handful of WW II top scholars, whose ...
