Storming to Power by Time-Life Books
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
While I am rating this the same, I did not enjoy it as much as the first in the series: [b:The New Order|709662|The New Order|Time-Life Books|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-6121bf4c1f669098041843ec9650ca19.png|695930]. However, I see it as possibly the necessary, less interesting middle act sandwiched between tension-building exposition and dramatic conclusion. The story is of Hitler's methodical, purposeful accumulation of political power covers nearly a decade of rallies and manoeuvring. In this, we learn how he was a political chameleon ("no you can't make highways"/"yes, we do the autobahn and it was always my idea", etc.) and betrayed friends with the same ease with which he crushed enemies. Up next, I will find out how this story ends in [b:The SS|860082|The SS (Third Reich Series)|Time-Life Books|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1203726521s/860082.jpg|845522].
Overall, this series is proving to be better than expected.
