Having spent half a century searching for the truths behind one of the most horrifying episodes in human history, in \u003ci\u003eHitler's People\u003c\/i\u003e, he brings us back to the original site of the Nazi movement: namely, the lives of its most important members. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWorking in concentric circles out from Hitler and his closest allies, Evans forms a typological framework of Germany society under Nazi rule from the top down. With a novelist's eye for detail, Evans explains the Third Reich through the personal failings and professional ambitions of its members, from its most notorious deputies--like Goebbels, the regime's propagandist, and Himmler, the Holocaust's chief architect--to the crucial enforcers and instruments of the Nazi agenda that history has largely forgotten--like the schoolteacher Julius Streicher and the actress Leni Riefenstahl. Drawing on a wealth of recently unearthed historical sources, \u003ci\u003eHitler's People\u003c\/i\u003e lays bare the inner and outer lives of the characters whose choices led to the deaths of millions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNearly a century after Hitler's rise, the leading nations of the West are once again being torn apart by a will to power. By telling the stories of these infamous lives as human lives, Evans asks us to grapple with the complicated nature of complicity, showing us that the distinctions between individual and collective responsibility--and even between pathological evil and rational choice--are never easily drawn.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard J.
