Julia Boyd is a best-selling author with other works such as Travelers in the Third Reich: The Rise of Fascism through the Eyes of Everyday People (2017) or A Dance with the Dragon: The Vanished World of Peking’s Foreign Colony (2012). Angelika Patel is a historian who wrote studies such as A Village in the Mirror of its Time: Obserstdorf 1918-1952.
The present work is spread over 505 pages which in turn encapsulate 23 chapters. The two authors try to present the influence and actions of Hitler’s regime over its people by analyzing how the regime manifested in a mountain village from the Bavarian Alps, Oberstdorf.
