Beginning with the failed July 1944 bomb plot and continuing through to Germany's capitulation in May 1945, Kershaw traces the political, military and social mechanisms that kept the regime functioning amid catastrophic battlefield losses, Allied bombing and the collapse of German territory.\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    Drawing on archival material and contemporary testimony, Kershaw explores the interaction between Hitler's authority, the obedience of military and administrative elites, fear of the consequences of defeat, ideological commitment and the regime's machinery of coercion. Rather than treating the final months simply as a military narrative, he shows how institutions and individuals continued to operate even as the Third Reich disintegrated around them, producing a detailed study of dictatorship, obedience and self-destruction.\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   Published by The Penguin Press, New York, in 2011, this substantial first-edition-era hardback runs to more than 500 pages and includes illustrations, maps, extensive notes, archival sources, bibliography and index.
