London Review of Books
"A brilliant study of corruption by power, more specifically of
the willingness of the German elites to chummy up to the psychotic
vileness of the Third Reich. This is an account of clubs,
diplomatic receptions and parties, but one shot through with a
scholarly analysis of the nature of sociability, elitism and luxury
in a racist totalitarian state. A most impressive work."
Historical Association
"The way Hitler presided over a state where power was divided
between big business, the chiefs of staff, the Nazi Party, the SS
and other components of the Third Reich is fascinating."
Socialist Review
"The almost Faustian bargain between the German elite and the
Nazi regime is laid bare in this original and comprehensive study.
Fabrice D'Almeida's fascinating and engaging work will be valued by
academic and general readers alike."
Conan Fischer, University of Strathclyde
