Books like Beyond Hitler's Grasp by Michael Bar-Zohar

After the Nuremberg trials, a dedicated group of men and women tracked down ex‑Nazi officials around the globe, determined to expose their crimes and prevent them from living undetected.

In this volume Norman Rich shows how Hitler's policies followed his blueprint of expansion, outlined in "Mein Kampf" and based mainly on racial ideology, until political and military necessities, real and imagined, drove him to war against nations that played no part in his ideological programme. After an introduction that places Hitler and the Nazi regime in the perspective of German history, Professor Rich relates Hitler's actual theories to the rise of the Nazi state and the development of a system of men and institutions dedicated to carrying out the Fuehrer's orders. This system was to provide the machinery of expansion that becomes the focus of this study, as the spread of the Nazis is traced in detail from the annexation of Austria to Hitler's attack on Russia and declaration of war against the United States.

Sebastian Haffner's memoir traces the everyday lives of ordinary Germans from 1907 to 1933, revealing how society, politics, and prejudice evolved as Nazism rose.
