It is difficult to imagine how it could be improved upon, let alone surpassed.” — The Washington Post \" This superb book is not simply a military history; it is a comprehensive portrait of a society at war . . . A masterpiece of historical research and analysis . . . Likely to remain the best study of the Third Reich at war for many years to come.” — The Christian Science Monitor Adroitly blending narrative, description, and analysis, Richard J. Evans portrays a society rushing headlong to self-destruction and taking much of Europe with it. Interweaving a broad narrative of the war's progress from a wide range of people, Evans reveals the dynamics of a society plunged into war at every level. The great battles and events of the conflict are here, but just as telling is Evans's re- creation of the daily experience of ordinary Germans in wartime. At the center of the book is the Nazi extermi­nation of the Jews. The Third Reich at War lays bare the most momentous and tragic years of the Nazi regime.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780143116714","publication_date":"20100223","publisher":"Penguin Publishing Group","slug":"the-third-reich-at-war","subtitle":"1939-1945","title":"The Third Reich at War"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"HIS027370","confidence_band":"medium","label":"World War II: European Theater","score":0.7719,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS027100","confidence_band":"medium","label":"World War II History","score":0.7708,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS027090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"World War I History","score":0.7556,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"HIS027370","confidence_band":"medium","label":"World War II: European Theater","score":0.7719,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS027100","confidence_band":"medium","label":"World War II History","score":0.7708,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS027090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"World War I History","score":0.7556,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"HIS014000","confidence_band":"high","label":"German History","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"HIS027100","confidence_band":"high","label":"World War II History","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"HIS043000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Holocaust History","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"World War II: European Theater","score":0.7719,"slug":"world-war-ii-european-theater"},{"label":"World War II History","score":0.7708,"slug":"world-war-ii-history"},{"label":"World War I History","score":0.7556,"slug":"world-war-i-history"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy World War II: European Theater","Good for readers interested in gifts","Good for fans of History"],"related_lists":[{"intro":"","slug":"shelf-his027090-world-war-i","title":"World War I Books","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/lists/shelf-his027090-world-war-i"}],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Richard Overy"],"book_id":"9780670025169","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780670025169.jpg?v=20260418T162306Z%3A2026-04-19T10%3A16%3A55Z","score":20.0494,"title":"Blood and Ruins","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780670025169"},{"authors":["John Keegan"],"book_id":"9780143035732","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780143035732.jpg?v=20260418T162306Z%3A2026-04-19T10%3A16%3A55Z","score":19.7555,"title":"The Second World War","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780143035732"},{"authors":["Tim Bouverie"],"book_id":"9780593138366","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780593138366.jpg?v=20260418T162306Z%3A2026-04-19T10%3A16%3A55Z","score":19.7299,"title":"Allies at War","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780593138366"},{"authors":["James L.
