the making and breaking of the Nazi economy

By Tooze, Adam

Publishers Summary:
In this groundbreaking history, Tooze provides the clearest picture to date of the Nazi war machine and its undoing.

An eye-opening and controversial account that will challenge conventional interpretations of the period.--From publisher description
