description: Drawing on new research &amp; declassified documents, LeBor, author of Hitler's Secret Bankers, &amp; Boyes, The Times of London correspondent in Berlin, reveal a tapestry of ordinary lives lived under extraordinary circumstances-ranging from subversion &amp; confrontation to passive acceptance &amp; eager complicity. Seduced by Hitler details how almost every waking hour of Hitler's reign offered insidious choices-from degrees of compromise to outright resistance-to the average German in their interactions with each other &amp; the regime, whether at work, home or leisure. It may seem impossible to explain how an entire nation could allow itself to be seduced by a man such as Hitler. By examining the everyday lives of Germans under Nazi rule, the authors propose an explanation more complex, strange &amp; morally ambiguous than one might imagine. In doing so, they bring to life the steady decline in national morality in the 3rd Reich as the German people let themselves be taken in by Hitler.
