This title was very well written. The examples given throughout the book were thought-provoking, enlightening, and scary. The final chapter on the actual 12 lessons was eye-opening. And in each and every one I saw examples of in events happening today in the US. Shocking and sad that we as a people are so easily manipulated. The collective "WE" don't learn from history.

This isn’t necessarily anything new on the topic. It is done in an excellent way however. This does read more like a history textbook/lesson. It is very informative and interesting.
I listened to the audiobook of this. The narrator, John Sackville, did a great job and I loved his British accent.
I will say I think this book might be better to have a copy of the book with you while listening. It is a lot of information to digest.
Thank you Hachette Audio and NetGalley for the advanced audiobook. All opinions are my own.

This is a totally fascinating book which looks into the methods used to gain the approval for the horrific time of Nazi power during World War Two. Why did people accept and revere Adolf Hitler and how could many justify the murder of millions? He starts this history from the 1920s.
Very well written and very well narrated book (I listened to the audiobook). I can only recommend this book if you want to learn more about violent ideology and the use of sophisticated propaganda. Gives us a fresh understanding of this regime.

The Nazi Mind is a psychological and historical review of the events that lead up to the Nazi mindset. Early on Rees sets the stage with the analysis that to understand is not to excuse and I think that is exactly what happened in this novel. Throughout the novel we are able to understand what lead up to so many different individuals buying into the regime and while that may not excuse the behavior, it does lead to the question, “what would you do in this situation.”
