For anyone with interest in Nazi Germany, this is a great primer to the events around the Reichstag Fire, and the Fire itself. Kellerhoff's text is well-translated, and it conveys the finer points of history well. He contextualises the Fire, but also how the aftermath of Nazi Germany has coloured contemporary perception of the events.

An interesting and academic look at one of the seminal events in Nazi Germany. The Reichstag building fire was the event that gave Hitler the power to truly become the dictator of Germany who destroyed so many lives.
