The Story of One German. A Private Man Against the Thousand-Year Reich

The memoirs of the German journalist and historian Sebastian Haffner (1907-1999), written in exile in 1939, cover the period from 1914 to 1933.

The author attempts to answer the question of how the events of this decade prepared the Germans for the acceptance of Nazi power, how a multilayered socio-political ground was created and fertilized, on which the Third Reich was erected.
