I have checked out this book a number of times from the libray. This is a fascinating book of the beginning of the Nazi Regime. Jews are discriminated against and deprived of their job. One of the friends of those who are writing about this regime kill herself, rather than face the loss of her job. A Gestapo agent puts roadblocks in the way of the SA and SS killing machines and is himself threatened. One can see how this regime threatened and killed its way to total power.This is a nice read of the beginning of Hitler's regime. People opposed him, and paid the price. This is how power was transferred to a small group of people.
