Although undoubtedly factual, this book is a tough read. It's written much like a textbook with no concession to readability. I believe that the author is British which also might contribute to the readability issues. Also, the large number of political parties in Germany at that time are named in English, but are referred to by their German acronyms, which makes them a bit hard to keep up with. If you can absorb the book, I'm sure that you will be rewarded with lots of good historical perspective and there is a very thorough bibliography. I finished it but was glad that it was short.
