War and Economy in the Third Reich

War and Economy in the Third Reich examines the nature of the German economy in the 1930s and the Second World War. Richard Overy''s essays, collected here for the first time with a substantial new introduction, explore the tension between Hitler''s vision of an armed economy and the reality of German economic and social life. Often thought-provoking, always informed, War and Economy opens a window on an essential aspect of Hitler''s Germany.
