Michael O Connor rated it really liked it Feb 14, His own web site refers to a description of his home as a "book-writing factory" and says, "More than half my books were commissioned by publishers and packagers for a flat fee or for a for a reduced royalty". In this sense, the Author inadvertently provides an insight into the psychological disposition of the members of the SS and the relative injustice of the Nuremberg show trials. So terrible were its misdeeds that the SS was declared a criminal organization in the Nuremberg Trials.

It ended with how the seeds of the SS and the Third Reich are still there.
The style is more of an exposition. It is an exposition because it explains about what events took place in order to create the organization. It also clearly stated how bad and evil they actually were. The jobs of the SS was clearly defined throughout the book.
Reward Yourself
My opinion is it constantly jumps back and forth and it is at times hard to understand. It seemed to ramble on and on about politics. There were lots of words that were hard to pronounce and understand.
What I liked is how he sometimes explained the truth of what happened in a non political way. I'd make it less political and more about stories behind the politics. Overall, I would not recommend this book because as a high school student, I did not understand most of the historical, political angle. This was a gripping, and thoroughly researched examination of the varied roles that the SS played in the protection and furtherance of the Third Reich.

The book covers the SS from it's inception to it's bloody demise in the face of the advancing Allied Forces, and amply demonstrates why the SS were amongst some of the most deplorable and yet, determined, soldiers within the context of the Reich. The crimes committed by the SS and Wermacht are considered in detail, and an account of the Nuremberg This was a gripping, and thoroughly researched examination of the varied roles that the SS played in the protection and furtherance of the Third Reich. The crimes committed by the SS and Wermacht are considered in detail, and an account of the Nuremberg trials is also provided by the author which is was interesting for a variety of reasons.
Chiefly, it was interesting to note how many war criminals were re-integrated into West German; American, and Soviet society as a result of their intellectual or technical utility. Secondly, it was interesting to note how "ordinary" or mundane, the post-war lives were for those that had presided over atrocities at Concentration Camps or on the battlefield. In this sense, the Author inadvertently provides an insight into the psychological disposition of the members of the SS and the relative injustice of the Nuremberg show trials. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone with either a passing or detailed interest in the SS and the Wermacht in general.
This book jumps around too much for it to be enjoyable for the average reader to enjoy in my opinion. People, places, events, units, operations, etc are in no predictable or natural order. I did manage to work my way through the entire book but I found myself having to reread much of it to gather the information and decide whether or not it was new information or new a new perspective.
Most of the information I decided was neither and decided to expunge it. May 27, Amanda rated it it was ok. A lot of names and dates, if that's the type of thing you're interested in, than this would be a great read. I felt as though as I was sitting in a very boring history class, but there were a lot of interesting stories and facts along the way. Mar 08, Scooter rated it liked it. An interesting take on the rise and then thankfully fall of one of the world's most notorious organisations of all time.

I learned several things I never knew before. Detailed accounts of the major players in Hitler's SS and the roles they played. Interesting book and well researched. Very little about Hitler himself.
