Acerca de esta escucha

"Masterful.... [A] painstakingly researched, astonishingly erudite study.... Tooze has added his name to the roll call of top-class scholars of Nazism." (Financial Times)

An extraordinary mythology has grown up around the Third Reich that hovers over political and moral debate even today. Adam Tooze's controversial book challenges the conventional economic interpretations of that period to explore how Hitler's surprisingly prescient vision - ultimately hindered by Germany's limited resources and his own racial ideology - was to create a German super-state to dominate Europe and compete with what he saw as America's overwhelming power in a soon-to-be globalized world.

The Wages of Destruction is a chilling work of originality and tremendous scholarship that set off debate in Germany and will fundamentally change the way in which history views the Second World War.

This audiobook contains a downloadable PDF of tables and figures from the book.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"One of the most important and original books to be published about the Third Reich in the past twenty years. A tour de force." (Niall Ferguson)

"Tooze has produced the most striking history of German strategy in the Second World War that we possess. This is an extraordinary achievement, and it places Adam Tooze in a very select company of historians indeed.... Tooze has given us a masterpiece which will be read, and admired; and it will stimulate others for a long time to come." (Nicholas Stargardt, History Today)

"It is among Adam Tooze's many virtues, in The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy, that he can write about such matters with authority, explaining the technicalities of bombers and battleships. Hovering over his chronicle are two extraordinary questions: how Germany managed to last as long as it did before the collapse of 1945 and why, under Hitler, it thought it could achieve supremacy at all." (Norman Stone, The Wall Street Journal)

This is an area in which I have/had ZERO knowledge. If you had told me I’d enjoy a book about economics I’d not believed it. I enjoyed this book immensely. The writing, information and detail was outstanding! Wish I could give 6 stars.

Excellent

Best I have read in terms of tying German strategy with economic realities Germany faced after WW1 and in going up against Russia and the United States. Clearly and logically explained and well narrated.

Excellent and Unique View

Good book discussing the economics of the Nazi s and their disorganization. The author is overly very pro Russian and does not really credit British intelligence as a factor in Russians success nor does he credit US lend lease other than vehicles. The US provided food, clothing , meds vehicles steel tubes, plating , machine tools, communication equipment, chemicals diesel aviation fuel and so much supply including razors. The US tax payer fed armed and clothed the red army from late 1942 to 45. The author basically says the Russians did it on their own. In terms of losses that is true. Major oversight and short coming of the book. He covered the Germans well. The book needs to be revised . Otherwise a very informative book for history buffs. Thanks

Highly engaging read. Hard to put down. Explains economic and ideological rationale for what is often written off as idiosyncratic miscalculation.

Great Read

This book helped me to challenge many assumptions that I had held about WWII. Absolutely fascinating.

Superb

it was absolutely a brilliant analysis that tied the war, ideology, and world economy together. If every dictator knew about this resource, the world would have been a different place.

Wish I had now about this book earlier.

It is quite amazing to read through just how much the Nazi regime managed to do with the Sword of Damocles constantly swinging above its head. These are lessons that we should heed today.

A fascinating backstory from a financial perspective highlighting how toxic nationalism combined with racism can be.

I liked how detailed it was in describing the war, strategy and its financial impact.
