Both say right away, this book is not for fans of Tom Clancy, Dan Brown or devotees of Harry Potter. This is a reference book combining history was closely economy. Much has been written about the Second World War, particularly the excellent recent book by Beevor, but this approach are the key elements that the economy and the management of resources by the Third Reich with the stories and anecdotes that sub tend is highly innovative and interesting in more ways than one. If we add the quality of information provided and the fact that they are delivered in a perfectly digestible even for a layman, if one has still the courage to read a book of nearly 800 pages in small print, and that we have a real attraction to this period of history, we get a reference document must-have.
