Included in length are photos of the turmoil that took place inbetween the end of World War I and the founding of the Weimar Republic, the fighting by the Communists, and the Bavarian coups. The war pictures are themselves revealing as well. The text accompanying the photos is a well-detailed (for a book mainly of pictures) history. However, the real treat in this book are the colour pictures, which include war photos, war insignia, and posters. Page 78, for example, has a Volkswagen ad, and the family rallying for Nazism picture was used by Laibach for the cover of their album, Sympathy For The Devil. The black and white photos also provide a time capsule into an age that's looked at in both horror and fascination. Other documents included are a copy of the Instrument of Surrender signed by Montgomery and the Nuremberg Laws written by Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart. The glossary at the end includes a list of German titles and terms, such as Einsatzkommando, Kries, and Abwehr, a list of second rank officials such as Reinhard Heydrich, Roland Freisler, and Julius Streicher, and what their positions were in the Reich."; 12.2 X 9.5 X 1.3 inches; 256 pages .
