Inspired by the imperial legacy of those such as the British, the Third Reich cast its shadow from the Channel Islands to the Caucasus and ruled hundreds of millions. Yet, as Mark Mazower''s groundbreaking new account shows, it was an empire built on an illusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Hitler''s plans for vast motorways crossing an ethnically cleansed Russian steppe, to dreams of a German super-economy rivalling America''s, Mazower reveals the lethal fusion of mass murder, modern managerialism and colossal incompetence that underpinned the Nazi New Order. Ultimately Hitler''s empire ended up consuming its own, leaving destruction in its wake and finishing not just with the downfall of Germany, but an entire continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e''Remarkable ... provocative ... an important new book'' \u003cbr\u003e   Adam Tooze, \u003ci\u003eSunday Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e''A stunning survey ... breaks new ground'' \u003cbr\u003e   Dominic Sandbrook, \u003ci\u003eDaily Telegraph \u003c\/i\u003eBooks of the Year \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e''A first-class account'' \u003cbr\u003e   Richard Overy, \u003ci\u003eLiterary Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e''Brilliant ... a must for anyone who has a serious interest in the dreadful Third Reich''\u003cbr\u003e  Justin Cartwright, \u003ci\u003eSpectator\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e''Exposes the intellectual bankruptcy of the enterprise with forensic skill and wit'' \u003cbr\u003e   Christopher Silvester, \u003ci\u003eDaily Express\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Mazower \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eInside Hitler''s Greece\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDark Continent: Europe''s Twentieth Century\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Balkans\u003c\/i\u003e - which won the Wolfson Prize for History - and \u003ci\u003eSalonika: City of Ghosts\u003c\/i\u003e, which won both the Runciman Prize and the Duff Cooper Prize.
