Acerca de esta escucha

When the famous German author Sebastian Haffner died at the age of 91 in 1999, a manuscript was discovered among his unpublished papers. The book was begun in 1939, but with the advent of World War II, Haffner had set it aside. His family made the decision to publish it, and the book became a best seller in Germany in 2002. Spanning the period from 1907 to 1933, it offers a unique perspective on how the average educated German grappled with the rise of Hitler, the growing influence of Nazism, and a rapidly changing society.

Haffner's astute and compelling eyewitness accounts provide a broad overview of a country in a constant state of flux. He examines the pervasive influence of groups such as the Free Corps and the Hitler Youth movement that swept the nation. His own family's financial struggles illustrate the disaster that befell many of Germany's citizens during the apocalyptic year of 1923 when inflation devastated the country. The later peaceful but dangerously uninspiring Stresemann years contributed still further to Hitler's rise to power. This is an invaluable chronicling of day-to-day changes in attitudes, beliefs, politics, and prejudices.

A major best seller in Germany now available for the first time in English, Defying Hitler is an illuminating portrait of a time, a place, and a people.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"his is a gem of a book, with as much intellectual force as, say, The Diary of Anne Frank has emotional force....Essential reading about that fearsome era." (Booklist)
"[A] masterpiece...A series of vignettes that vividly convey the texture of life under an emerging totalitarian regime." (The New York Times Book Review)
"A vivid examination of just how Hitler's ascension affected an ordinary German....This intimate self-portrait stands with Victor Klemperer's two-part memoir, I Will Bear Witness, as evidence that the personal can offer insight into the political tragedy of Nazism." (Publishers Weekly)

A well written memoir from 1914 to 1934 and life for a young German who loathed the Nazi creed and its destruction of Germany. It is well worth reading simply for the historical content.

But sadly it also seems prophetic for our times in America. The division of the German people and the rise of nationalism, based in part on the Big Lie that played to the basest instincts of many of its followers can be seen in minute details. For example a group of friends who could sit around discussing a range of topics prior to the rise of the Nazis deteriorated into rival factions and their friendships ended to the point where no conversation could be held and they stopped meeting.

I believe evidence of this inflexibility and almost hatred between the Blue and the Red have left the USA in a similarly divided state. It is my hope that among all of my friends of differing political viewpoints that this book is read and seen as a cautionary tale. I highly recommend it.

Great way to better understand the German perspective of the Nazis during 1914-1933.
Provides some perspective on the question of “Why did the Germans go along with the Nazis?” Or “How was the Holocaust allowed to happen?”

This book put a real human look at the german people under the nazi rule. It helped to answer the questions of why--why didn't they stop this monster that took over their country. It gave a great look into the time before WWII in Germany and how that shaped the thought of the people. Very Interesting thoughts that will make you ponder for days.

Great Listen

I have read (and listened to) many things written about World War II, but I have never seen this kind of profound psychological insight brought to bear on how and why the Nazis happened to Germany.

My mother’s family is German and I have spent quite a bit of time in Germany and have German friends. Nazi Germany has long been something of a puzzle to me and I’ve read more than a few books about that time, trying to discover how that could have happened. Where was the rule of law, the public outrage, the resistance to atrocities… just how could this have happened?

A few days ago I obtained a copy of Defying Hitler by Sebastian Haffner, the son of a Prussian civil servant, who details the decent into madness by the German people and how it happened. If you are interested in a front seat view of how Germany became a Fascist state, this is the book for you.

The Best Book on Nazi Germany I've Read
