From the jacket flap: "In a landmark work of history, Nikolaus Wachsmann offers the first comprehensive account of the development of the Nazi concentration camps from their inception in 1933 through to their demise at the end of World War II . . . An unprecedented integrated history, 'KL' views the camps from two main persectives. The first focuses, often close-up, on life and death inside the camps, examining key elements of their universe: living conditions, forced labour, punishment, violence, resistance, and more - and how they changed over time. The second, adopting a wider lens, examines how the camp system developed before and during the war as part of a broader web of changing political, legal, social, economic and military forces unleashed by the Third Reich. Taken together, these two approaches produce a unified picture of the Nazi regime and its camps that we have never seen before." Contents include: List of Maps. Prologue. 11 chapters. Epilogue.
