Recensioner i media

"'Laurence Rees asks, as always, the right questions, and provides excellent answers. Blending the oral testimony of contemporaries with documentary evidence, he offers sharp insight into the adulation of Hitler by millions of Germans that underpinned his "charismatic rule"'" -- Professor Sir Ian Kershaw "Laurence Rees is currently producing the best documentaries ever made about the Nazi era" -- Clive James "Laurence Rees has done more for good history on television in this country than anyone else. Over several series, he has examined the most terrible aspects of the Second World War with a passionate longing to understand, while rejecting facile moral judgment" -- Antony Beevor
