Nazi Germany and the practice of history itself are central to Richard J. Evans’s nonfiction. Evans writes modern European history, with Nazi Germany and the methods historians use to understand the past among his best-known subjects. The Third Reich Trilogy—The Coming of the Third Reich, The Third Reich in Power and The Third Reich at War—traces the Nazi movement from its rise through dictatorship, war and collapse using political, social and cultural evidence. In Defence of History addresses debates about objectivity, interpretation and postmodernism within historical scholarship, while Eric Hobsbawm: A Life turns to intellectual biography. Evans writes in a detailed, evidence-heavy but accessible style, balancing institutions with everyday experience. Readers can most usefully find these books through Nazi Germany, twentieth-century European history, historiography and political history for readers seeking substantial narrative scholarship rather than short introductions.
