Hitler and the Holocaust: 8 (Modern Library Chronicles) - Softcover

"Many historians have written about the Holocaust, but few have produced as fine a volume as Wistrich's." --The Washington Post Book World

"Robert Wistrich's Hitler and the Holocaust is a concise yet distinctly authoritative history of the Holocaust. . . . Anyone who wants to read one book on the state of our understanding of Hitler and the Holocaust as we enter the new century would be well advised to begin with Wistrich. Never polemical and always meticulous, restrained in his prose and fair in his analysis, once again he displays a mastery of his subject and full command of even the most recent of scholarship." --Michael Berenbaum, author of The World Must Know, former director of the Research Institute of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and former president of the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation

A concise history of the Holocaust examines the origins and aftermath of the Jewish genocide, exploring the causes of the Holocaust, Hitler's role in the events of the era, and the lasting legacy of Nazi crimes since 1945. Reprint. 25,000 first printing.
