Summary
Who were the Gestapo officers? Were they merely banal paper shufflers, or were they recognizably evil? Were they motivated by an eliminationist anti-Semitism? Did the average German know about the mass murder of Jews and other undesirables while they were happening? Exactly how was Nazi terror applied in the daily lives of ordinary Jews and Germans? Eric A. Johnson answers these questions as he explores the roles of the individual and of society in making terror work.
Based on years of research in Gestapo archives as well as extensive interviews with perpetrators and victims, Nazi Terror settles many nagging questions about who, exactly, was responsible for what, who knew what, and when they knew it. It is the most fine-grained portrait we may ever have of the mechanism of terror in a dictatorship.
Destined to become the classic study of terror in the Nazi dictatorship, and the benchmark for the next generation of Nazi and Holocaust scholarship, Nazi Terror tackles the central aspect of the Nazi dictatorship head on by focusing on the roles of the individual and of society in making terror work.

Too Long Winded
I downloaded this book believing that I would learn something new not covered in other similar titles, but alas it was not meant to be. The way the book is laid out is boring and extremely long winded. The narrator does a good job with the text and delivers the audio beautifully therefore I've awarded the book two stars out of five, but for the book itself as it was so dull I give this one a zero out of five. Nothing new here, its just a plain old history book certainly not worthy of the price. Very disappointed.

The narrator is so important
Would you try another book written by Eric A. Johnson or narrated by Edward Lewis?
No, this is the second book ruined by the runaway staccato narration by Edward Lewis,
(King Of The Jews, the other book). Is he trying to beat some speed record in narration?
This is such an informative book to be absorbed slowly and thought about in depth but for the second time I have had to give up because of the irritating, grating narration which totally destroys concentration.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Nazi Terror?
The stories we don't hear about, the shades of grey
What didn’t you like about Edward Lewis’s performance?
As mentioned, staccato, too fast, emotionless
Did Nazi Terror inspire you to do anything?
Make sure I check the narrator first!
