Greenhill Books, publishers, London 1990 hardcover, 5¾" x 8¾", with dust jacket Bookplate of previous owner almost hidden under front jacket flap. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket The author provides an authoritative study of the structure of the Gestapo, of its bitter rivalries with other police and service organisations, of its struggle for power, and of its leading personalities. He traces how the Gestapo grew as an instrument of the Nazi police state under Himmler, who also controlled the SS, it ran side-by-side with the intelligence service (SD) under Himmler's deputy Heydrich; he also studies the question of the Nazi's responsibility for crimes against humanity.
