Dave, oh man, thanks for the rec! That goes perfectly with “They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933–45” and “Ordinary Men,” both of which I reference extensively in my “Letter to a Colluder: Stop Enabling Tyranny” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-colluder-stop-enabling). I also feature a novella’s worth of excerpts from “They Thought They Were Free” in my first Recommendations Roundup (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/recommendations-roundup-1-predicting) if you want to read some harrowingly relevant quotes.

I just went to order this book and found I'd already gotten it 😆 Now just to find time to read it along with the 5,000 other books on my list!

Oh, and Sebastian Haffner’s memoir, “Defying Hitler,” is also hair-raisingly familiar.
