In Hitler's Shadow War, World War II scholar Donald McKale contends that Hitler's persecution and murder of the Jews, Slavs, and other groups was his primary effort during the war, not the conquest of Europe. According to McKale, Hitler and the Nazi leadership used the military campaigns of the war as a cover for a genocidal program that centered around the Final Solution. Hitler continued to commit extensive manpower and materials to this 'shadow war' even when Germany was losing the battles of the war's closing years. McKale explores the origins of the anti-Semitism that spread like wildfire through Germany before and during the Nazis' rise to power, and the failure of the Allies to perceive and stop the Holocaust even as they were defeating the Germans in combat.

McKale reexamines the entire history and scope of Hitler's racial war and contends that WW II itself was the direct result of Hitler's racial hatred and was eventually used as a veil behind which Hitler implemented and masked his genocidal ambitions. The Holocaust was the Fuhrer's "shadow war" and in the Germany Army (Wehrmacht), Hitler found some of his most faithful allies. xvii, 541 pages with End Notes, Suggestions for Further Reading and Index, plus diagrams of Auschwitz I and II. 6.25 x 9.25 inches.

This book certainly offers a different perspective on World War II in Europe. Although I disagree with some of the author's opinions,in some instances he certainly gives pause for thought.
