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

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


You don’t always know what you’re going to get when you pick up a historical non-fiction book. Will it be dry and read like a textbook? What kind of slant will it have? Will I actually learn something?

Nazi Wives was an interesting read that focused not only on the women behind the top men in the party but gave a different perspective to the story of the rise and fall of Hitler’s movement. Some of the information I was already aware of but I still learned quite a bit. Also, some of those women were much more devoted to Hitler and his ideals than their husbands.

I read a good chunk of the book with my eyes but switched over to the audiobook and definitely recommend it. Either way, if you’re interested in WWII history, you might want to put this one on your TBR list.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ebook!
