It had a great review in The Spectator's book pages July 20, 2008
Michael J. Brett (London, England)
This book had a really excellent review in the London Spectator magazine dated 5th July. It made me put this book on my wishlist. One of the central theses of the book is that the Germans themselves were surprised and unprepared for the complete collapse of their Western European enemies in 1940. Thus, there were no settled policies, and given the subjective nature of racial hatred, and the competing heirarchies of SS, the Army, Civil Service and competing Gauleiters, chaos was inevitable and, ultimately, cost Germany the war. Mythical concepts of German destiny and racial hatred prevailed over military necessity and pragmatism. Mazower quotes Goebbels saying, perhaps ironically, 'If anyone asks us how you conceive the new Europe, we have to reply that we don't know.'
Eye-Opening July 18, 2008
Eliza Fewitt (United Kingdom)
Brilliant! This immense and wonderful book is a revelation, not just about the extraordinary state of Nazi occupied Europe but about world politics before and after.
A superb book. July 11, 2008

6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is a real eye-opener! I was in turn shocked and horrified by the detailed accounts of atrocities that this book reveals. That World War 2 was essentialy a 'race war' at (least as far as the Nazi's were concerned) is a fact brought home brilliantly by the author. Buy this book but don't read it at bedtime!
