Nazi Wives: The Women at the Top of Hitler's Germany by James Wyllie

4.0

---

A unique view into a familiar topic. The books I've read about this period have always fixated on the war crimes of the Nazis and although that perspective is necessary it has a way of making what happened seem alien and puts much distance between the very human motives that led there. Reading about the wives of key Nazi figures expanded the frame of my knowledge and perspective of both the wives and their husbands.
