Indeed a very good book. If you want some granular detail on the rise of Nazism in Germany, this recently published book (2016) is excellent. It uses newly discovered archive material (largely from the GDR) to fill in the picture that William Shirer painted in his classic The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Ullrich also has a second volume called "Hitler: Downfall: 1939-1945"
