The Foreign Policy of the Third Reich
In this short outline history of Hitler's foreign policy, Professor Hildebrand contends that the National Socialist Party achieved popularity largely because it integrated all the political, economic and socio-political expectations prevailing in Germany since Bismarck. Thus, foreign policy under Hitler was a logical extension of the aims of the newly created German nation-state of 1871. Trading on his domestic economic successes, Hitler relied on the traditional methods of power politics-backing diplomacy with force. Had he pursued expansionist aims alone, using specific lighting wars as threats or instruments of conquest he might have been more successful. As it was, the scheme went awry when the first phase-European hegemony-was overtaken by and forced to run parallel with the second and third phases: American intervention and “racial purification.” The ideology became too great a burden to bear, stimulating internal resistance, and the Allies of course determined to wage total for a total surrender.
German Foreign Policy from Bismarck to Adenauer
First Published in 1989. Tackling the problem of Germany's role in the history of world politics in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is one of the most interesting tasks of historiography. Furthermore, the relationship between Britain and Germany is of central significance in understanding this role.
German Foreign Policy from Bismarck to Adenauer
These studies of the history of international politics in the 19th and 20th centuries offer an interpretation of the relationship between statesmanship and state systems by a leading German historian. The book is divided chronologically to cover the European order between the unification of Germany and World War I, the revolution in international order before and during World War II and the Federal Republic of Germany and its policies towards the West and the East in the 1960s. It explores the possibilities and dangers inherent in the decisions and conduct of statesmen which crucially affect the life of states and nations as well as of societies and individuals.

Geschichte des Dritten Reiches
Klaus Hildebrand ist einer der bekanntesten deutschen Zeithistoriker und ausgewiesener Fachmann für die NS-Zeit. Knapp, präzise und anschaulich stellt er Entstehung, Entwicklung und Ende der Hitler-Diktatur dar. Er nimmt dabei die außen- und innenpolitischen Entwicklungen genauso in den Blick wie sozial- und wirtschaftsgeschichtliche Aspekte. Hildebrands Buch wendet sich an alle, die einen soliden Überblick über diese "dunklen Jahre" der deutschen Geschichte gewinnen wollen, "dunkle Jahre", in denen Deutschland Europa in die Katastrophe führte und Krieg und Terror Millionen Menschenleben kosteten.

The Schlieffen Plan
With the creation of the Franco-Russian Alliance and the failure of the Reinsurance Treaty in the late nineteenth century, Germany needed a strategy for fighting a two-front war. In response, Field Marshal Count Alfred von Schlieffen produced a study that represented the apex of modern military planning. His Memorandum for a War against France, which incorporated a mechanized cavalry as well as new technologies in weaponry, advocated that Germany concentrate its field army to the west and annihilate the French army within a few weeks. For generations, historians have considered Schlieffen's writings to be the foundation of Germany's military strategy in World War I and have hotly debated the...
The Spectre of War
A bold new history showing that the fear of Communism was a major factor in the outbreak of World War II The Spectre of War looks at a subject we thought we knew—the roots of the Second World War—and upends our assumptions with a masterful new interpretation. Looking beyond traditional explanations based on diplomatic failures or military might, Jonathan Haslam explores the neglected thread connecting them all: the fear of Communism prevalent across continents during the interwar period. Marshalling an array of archival sources, including records from the Communist International, Haslam transforms our understanding of the deep-seated origins of World War II, its conflicts, and its legacy...
