Publisher Synopsis
"This book could be titled "What Hitler Did Not Know." . . . the book demonstrates just how Hitler's decision making was handicapped by a "frenetic system which he himself created Recommended. All levels and collections."- Choice "The frightening yet fascinating story of the inner workings of Nazi Germany's diplomatic corps during the years leading up to World War II. Shore...presents a graphic picture of Hitler's Reich that heretofore has been largely ignored"- Library Journal "A superb, scholarly and fascinating study of decision-making in Nazi foreign policy between 1933 and 1939. Focused on the battle for the control of information around Hitler, it confirms what we knew about the frequent disorganization and chaos of his regime, it shows how the battles of clans and rivals increased the riskiness of his policies, and it scrupulously points out how much remains to be known. Zachary Shore's first book proves what a penetrating andelegant historian he is."-Stanley Hoffmann, Harvard University "With a wealth of fascinating new material, Zachary Shore shows that a key to Nazi Germany's foreign policy was the struggle over the intelligence that flowed within the regime and especially to the top. This perspective challenges much of our received wisdom about Hitler's choices."-Robert Jervis, Columbia University "Intriguing"- Washington Monthly Read more...
