Superb - Rated The popular perception of Hitler is that "he made the trains run on time", and that the Holocaust was meticulously planned from the early days of Nazi power. This book shows how nothing could be further from the truth. Browning's compelling theory is that Nazi Germany was a "polycracy", where vague directives and pronouncements from Hitler were enthusiastically developed and "ratcheted up" by subordinates and the bureaucracy. Thus the institutionalised mass slaughter of the Jews developed from Nazi frustration at the failure of various deportation initiatives from 1939-41, and the new possibilities opened up by the Einsatzgruppen in the USSR from June 1941. There is a massive amount of detail, but the book is extremely readable for the layperson. Highly recommended. A revelation! - Rated This book is a revelation. It tackles the issue of whether the Holocaust was planned from the first or whether it evolved due to circumstance. It does this through a meticulous process of narration of events from 1939 to 1942. This step by step approach can appear laborious at first but it has the effect of stopping preconceptions and making the reader understand the prevailing attitudes of the time. Browning quite cleverly takes the reader on a journey from exclusion to expulsion to concentration to extermination. It is very logical and very convincing. Highly recommended.
