Having assembled an impressive group of experts, the volume proceeds thematically to address most every aspect of the Third Reich. All ten chapters are well informed by contemporary scholarship but acces-sible to a lay audience. Politics, culture, war, society, and economy all receive their due. That this volume is richly illustrated with primary sources, film clips, photographs, paintings, and other visual media adds to the diversity and relatability of the contributions.
