Histoire d'un Allemand

In a posthumously published 1939 text, German journalist Sebastian Haffner chronicles his personal experiences during the era of Nazism. With exemplary clarity and authority, his account makes palpable, and therefore understandable, the circumstances of the advent of the Hitler regime. In this respect, it is a work whose reading, in addition to the literary interest which justifies it, is indispensable to the knowledge of our time.
