Description
The Gestapo: A History of the Nazi Secret Police. Edward Crankshaw provides an authoritative overview of the Gestapo's history and inner workings, examining its structures, rivalries with other police organizations, and the struggle for power within its nefarious bureau. The Gestapo's brutal suppression of resistance, torture, and execution of political opponents and ethnic minorities are revealed in detail. The book sheds light on the Gestapo's role in promoting the Nazi state's policies, filling concentration camps, and using repression to deter opposition. Crankshaw's account provides a compelling insight into the Gestapo's rise to power and its devastating impact on Europe during World War II. 264 pages, paperback edition.
