The Order Of The Day by Eric Vuillard
A Story of the Nazi Seizure of Power
The book is a gripping historical account that delves into the events leading up to the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany in 1938. It intricately portrays the behind-the-scenes political maneuvers, the complicity of industrialists, and the complacency of European powers that allowed the Anschluss to unfold. Through a series of vignettes, it reveals the chilling ease with which tyranny can advance when met with apathy and self-interest, offering a stark reminder of the fragility of democracy and the perils of unchecked ambition.
