Five stars.

Army Rumour Service (ARRSE)

I am fascinated by the evil of Hitler's Nazi Germany, and I believe that it's essential that we don't lose sight of what went on in those days - the chilling rise of far right politicians and their evil followers is something I thought and hoped I would never live to see again. Nevertheless, this book is the equivalent of a museum for me - absolutely fascinating and essential reading.

This book mixes well objects that were functional to the war waged by Hitler, objects that are inextricably linked to the fate of millions of people oppressed and killed for a wrong ideology, and objects that do nothing but suggest that famous essay by Hannah Arendt "The Banality of Evil". This book introduces us to the stories behind these objects and manages to summarize, from an iconographic point of view, what that terrible period was like.

On The Old Barbed Wire

this is a novel book and superbly written. It has numerous iconic items, some infamous ones, some relatively unheard-of items and some that are just exceptional. It is well worth reading and it summaries the history of the period in perhaps the most notable 100 objects from the era.

Dr Stuart C Blank

Moorhouse is an historian with an extraordinary gift for telling detail... Hitler's Third Reich in 100 Objects performs two essential tasks when it comes to remembering Nazi Germany. First, it conveys how a single, 12-year period — as Richard Overy points out in his introduction — "continues to exert a macabre fascination long after its violent demise". At the same time, it decouples beauty from politics, forcing the reader to confront how the former can be dragooned into service by the latter, but need not be.

The style of Moorhouse’s writing is very clear, informative and coherent, the pictures of each of the items are clear and classy there is no dull or grainy pictures of film etc, it’s just a very well published book. I could keep praising this book because it is so good, but I better stop. This gets a definite 5 star rating from this reviewer for sure.

UK Historian

The book is an engaging and novel approach to a familiar history. Pleasingly comprehensive and accessible, it would work just as well as a coffee-table volume or as a study aid for history students. Either way, it is highly recommended and is this issue's 'Editor's Choice'.

History of War, issue 73

What I was more impressed by, apart from the quality of both, images and writing, was the way these disparate objects and the narrative behind them managed to give me a good sense of what life was like at the time, without having to read tonnes and tonnes of pages full of dry information. This book illustrates well the power of images.

The style of writing is clear and coherent, the illustrations crisp and of excellent quality, and the book well-rounded and accessible to all. Whether the reader is just interested in this period of history or an academic, it is very highly recommended.

The premise, the research and intent of this book as a different way of looking at the Third Reich, makes this truly an interesting book.

Amazon review, atticusfinch1048

The Third Reich is a continued subject of fascination. Numerous documentaries, of widely varying quality, can be found on television every day; newspaper articles and stories feature stories relating to the Nazis on a weekly basis, and publishers are producing new books on the subject which appear on the shelves of the high street booksellers.

However, most of these do not represent the personal angle of the period that Roger Moorhouse has cast light upon in The Third Reich in 100 Objects. Moorhouse has complied a widely diverse collection of items from Nazi Germany. Each item is pictured, and has a detailed description of its relevance to the German citizen, or indeed the German leadership in some cases.
