Book Reviews of Hitler's Motor Racing Battles: The Silver Arrows under the Swastika
Book Review: Exceptional page turner
Summary: 5 Stars
Exceptionally interesting page turner - prior to reading this, I had no idea how the German racing program of the thirties was so intertwined with Nazi politics. Previously I was primarily interested in the technical aspects of the cars, which have been ably covered by Chris Nixon and Anthony Pritchard in other books and articles. This book covers the political side of the story and it is almost more interesting than the amazingly fast cars Mercedes Benz and Auto Union produced in this period. It provided a whole new perspective on the machines, drivers, and companies involved. This compact hardback book is well-illustrated on high quality paper with a sewn binding; I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in German motorsport and politics in the 1930s. I congratulate Mr. Reuss on producing such a superlative book!
