books on nazism: S/D

Defying Hitler, the posthumously published 1930s memoir of Aryan emigree Sebastian Haffner, is definitely worth reading. It's been so long since I read it that I struggle to offer anything more than a recommendation, but Salon have an introduction/review: http://dir.salon.com/story/books/review/2002/09/03/haffner/print.html

anyone read "hitler's willing executioners"? judging from the reviews, not worth it, but it sure stirred up some shit for a while.

i haven't -- but i think the one i linked to is maybe a kind of rejoinder to it?
