About this listen
There is no story in 20th-century history more important to understand than Hitler’s rise to power and the collapse of civilization in Nazi Germany. With The Coming of the Third Reich, Richard Evans, one of the world’s most distinguished historians, has written the definitive account for our time. A masterful synthesis of a vast body of scholarly work integrated with important new research and interpretations, Evans’s history restores drama and contingency to the rise to power of Hitler and the Nazis, even as it shows how ready Germany was by the early 1930s for such a takeover to occur. The Coming of the Third Reich is a masterwork of the historian’s art and the book by which all others on the subject will be judged.

Excellent scholarship, terrible narration
This wonderfully researched and accessibly presented book was marred by the terrible American narrator who couldn’t pronounce basic terms such as Wilhelmine correctly leading to irritation!

Great book. Don’t be put off by reviews of the bad narrator
Don’t be put off by reviews about the bad narrator. Yes the there is some weird intonation and some weird pauses but this disturbed the meaning only in a couple of places in a 20 hour book. Also found his voice pleasant to listen to overall

A sobering and necessary piece of history.
an excellent and very thorough description of the methods used by the Nazis (and fascism in general) to take over all aspects of life in a headlong drive towards war.

The Third Reich explained
A fascinating account of a humbled nation's renewal and ultimate destruction.

Excellent book.
I found the book engrossing BUT unlike other listeners I did find the narrators habit of pausing for affect hugely annoying. Its not necessary and for me it’s hugely detracting.

Masterpiece.
I'm a great fan of Richard Evans and this more that lives up to my expectations. Do yourselves a favour and get it.

Here's how it happened
Would you consider the audio edition of The Coming of the Third Reich to be better than the print version?
If I had time to read I would but using the audio version I can listen in the car.
What didn’t you like about Sean Pratt’s performance?
Read as though he hadn't seen the words before. Some inappropriate pauses and weird pronunciations. Quay pronounced to rhyme with way instead of like key.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I was surprised by the background and it helped me understand how and why Germany fell into this trap in 1933.

Excellent
these 3 books are a majestic review of Germany through the mid-19 Century until 1946 They are a " must read" for everyone and especially those students of the 20th Century. So glad I read these and grateful for the accessible scholarship and breadth of knowledge.
