Description
They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45 Milton Mayer's thought-provoking book examines the development of fascism in Germany between 1933 and 1945. Based on interviews with ten ordinary Germans who had joined the Nazi Party, Mayer's work is a powerful indictment of the ordinary person's complicity in evil. Through their stories, Mayer sheds light on the ways in which ordinary people can become complicit in oppressive regimes, and how this can happen in any society. A new foreword by historian Richard J. Evans provides context for Mayer's work, highlighting its relevance to contemporary debates about freedom and authoritarianism. This book is a powerful exploration of the human condition, and the ways in which individuals can become embroiled in systems of oppression.
