Professor Frank Mc Donough is one of the leading scholars & most popular writers on the history of Nazi Germany.
Frank Mc Donough's work has been described as, 'modern history writing at its very best... Ground-breaking, fascinating, occasionally deeply revisionist' by renowned historian Andrew Roberts.
Drawing on a detailed examination of previously unpublished Gestapo case files this book relates the fascinating, vivid & disturbing accounts of a cross-section of ordinary & extraordinary people who opposed the Nazi regime. It also tells the equally disturbing stories of their friends, neighbours, colleagues & even relatives who were often drawn into the Gestapo's web of intrigue. The book reveals, too, the cold-blooded & efficient methods of the Gestapo officers.
This book will also show that the Gestapo lacked the manpower & resources to spy on everyone as it was reliant on tip offs from the general public. Yet this did not mean the Gestapo was a weak or inefficient instrument of Nazi terror. On the contrary, it ruthlessly & efficiently targeted its officers against clearly defined political & racial 'enemies of the people'.
The Gestapo will provide a chilling new doorway into the everyday life of the Third Reich & give powerful testimony from the victims of Nazi terror & poignant life stories of those who opposed Hitler's regime while challenging popular myths about the Gestapo.
