The Third Reich in History and Memory

Lisa Miller

A collection of essays and book reviews from the last twenty (or more??) years, all on the Third Reich and arranged in historical chronological order. I read all of the first section and then a few here and there as the mood took me and altogether read about half the book. The first few essays were about Germany and it's colonial possessions pre-WW1 and possible links to how Germany operated under the Third Reich, and the Holocaust. While the theme is interesting the essays themselves were a drag. Providing lengthy arguments and examples only to back away and quibble at conclusions. I wanted to take a pen to it (library book) and write "what is your point?!" I think this is a case where an author becomes too popular that a book like this, of old publications crammed together, not fit for purpose, gets published.
