The German Catastrophe: Reflections and Recollections

From the back of the book:  Recognised as one of the most outstanding German historians, Friedrich Meinecke shows rare objectivity nd intellecutal acumen in his study of the social and historical forces that led to the rise and ruin of Hitler and his country.  The main events of German history are interpreted in the light of the two world wars and in the light of the author's intensive knowledge of German history: his personal acquaintance with members of the secret group that plotted to kill Hitler in 1944; and his active particaption in the changes Germany underwent.
