Overy has provided a very nice look at the Nazi economic recovery in the period from just before Hitler's coming to power to the beginning of Hitler's most aggressive foreign policy moves. I used this book as a minor source in research for a major 30+ page history paper on the Nazi economy and foreign policy. While too short to be something to rely upon, it is a fine introduction by an excellent historian. Good data is provided as well as some keen insight by the author. If you want to learn about the Nazi pre-war economy in quick fashion this work is perfect.
