Overview
Richard Evans se aleja del mito para presentarnos un retrato realista de los hombres y mujeres que sirvieron y perpetraron el Tercer Reich.
Por qué tantos alemanes participaron en los crímenes de la Alemania nazi? ¿Cómo llegaron a apoyar a Hitler y a seguirle casi hasta el final? Durante demasiado tiempo se ha presentado a los nazis como poco más que psicópatas o criminales. En esta nueva e importante obra, Richard J. Evans - una de las autoridades más destacadas del mundo sobre el Tercer Reich - se sirve de una gran cantidad de nuevas pruebas recientemente desenterradas para quitar el barniz de mito y leyenda de los rostros del Tercer Reich y presentar una visión más realista de los perpetradores nazis como seres humanos que eran inquietantemente parecidos a nosotros.
En círculos concéntricos Evans ofrece retratos nuevos, redondos, frescos y a menudo sorprendentes de los hombres y mujeres que crearon y sirvieron a la Alemania nazi, empezando por el propio Hitler y siguiendo por figuras destacadas como Göring, Goebbels y Himmler, ejecutores de las órdenes de Hitler como Eichmann y Heydrich, propagandistas como Leni Riefenstahl, perpetradores de bajo nivel como la tristemente célebre Irma Grese y simpatizantes y compañeros de viaje desconocidos que ayudaron al régimen de innumerables maneras.
Gente de Hitler es una obra escalofriante y brillantemente escrita que permite al lector comprender la textura y los valores del Tercer Reich y hasta dónde son capaces de llegar los individuos cuando han desaparecido tantas limitaciones morales normales.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Richard Evans moves beyond myth to present a realistic portrait of the men and women who served and perpetrated the Third Reich.
Why did so many Germans participate in the crimes of Nazi Germany? How did they come to support Hitler and follow him almost to the end? For too long, Nazis have been portrayed as little more than psychopaths or criminals. In this new and important work, Richard J. Evans—one of the world’s leading authorities on the Third Reich—draws on a wealth of newly unearthed evidence to strip away the varnish of myth and legend from the faces of the Third Reich and present a more realistic vision of Nazi perpetrators as human beings disturbingly similar to ourselves.
In concentric circles, Evans offers fresh, rounded, and often surprising portraits of the men and women who built and served Nazi Germany, beginning with Hitler himself and continuing with prominent figures such as Göring, Goebbels, and Himmler, executors of Hitler’s orders like Eichmann and Heydrich, propagandists such as Leni Riefenstahl, low-level perpetrators like the infamous Irma Grese, and unknown sympathizers and fellow travelers who aided the regime in countless ways.
Hitler’s People is a chilling and brilliantly written work that allows readers to understand the texture and values of the Third Reich, and how far individuals can go when so many normal moral boundaries have disappeared.
