The Triumph of the Dark: European International History 1933-1939
The Triumph of the Dark is the second volume in Zara Steiner's gargantuan history of international relations between the wars.

Hitler's relationship with Germany explored
The new exhibition in Berlin has Adolf Hitler as its focus for the first time The title is important: Hitler and the German People. The first ever big exhibition in a major German museum to focus on Hitler is not just about him but about his relationship with the people. And that, of course, makes for discomfort.
