This book begins with the defeat of Germany in World War I and concludes with the surrender on VE Day. Included in length are photos of the turmoil that took place inbetween the end of World War I and the founding of the Weimar Republic, the fighting by the Communists, and the Bavarian coups. The war pictures are themselves revealing as well.The text accompanying the photos is a well-detailed (for a book mainly of pictures) history. However, the real treat in this book are the colour pictures, which include war photos, war insignia, and posters. Page 78, for example, has a Volkswagen ad, and the family rallying for Nazism picture was used by Laibach for the cover of their album, Sympathy For The Devil.The black and white photos also provide a time capsule into an age that's looked at in both horror and fascination, though it's more the latter for me.Other documents included are a copy of the Instrument of Surrender signed by Montgomery and the Nuremberg Laws written by Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart.The glossary at the end includes a list of German titles and terms, such as Einsatzkommando, Kries, and Abwehr, a list of second rank officials such as Reinhard Heydrich, Roland Freisler, and Julius Streicher, and what their positions were in the Reich.Seeing as how Bradley borrowed from Shirer and Liddell-Hart, who are among the top in this field, this is a worthy book.
