A SUNDAY TIMES TOP THREE BESTSELLER and winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for History 2018, this extraordinary chronicle offers a fresh perspective on the rise of Nazi Germany. Without the luxury of retrospect, how does one decipher the unfolding events before them?
The period between 1919 and 1945 in Germany was rife with turmoil and tragedy, yet also punctuated by moments of uncertainty and glimmers of hope. How challenging was it to truly comprehend the essence of National Socialism, to resist the barrage of propaganda, or to foresee the horrors of the Holocaust?
Travellers in the Third Reich weaves together a tapestry of voices—from students and diplomats to artists and athletes, even featuring luminaries like Charles Lindbergh and Samuel Beckett. These accidental witnesses to history paint a vivid, three-dimensional portrait of Hitler's Germany, so immersive that readers will feel as if they're breathing the very air of the era.
Julia Boyd's masterful work draws from a multitude of first-hand accounts, ranging from the seemingly trivial to the deeply tragic. These tales offer a nuanced insight into the complexities and paradoxes of the Third Reich, ultimately illuminating its descent into destruction. Through the eyes of everyday people, this compelling narrative brings to life the unsettling rise of fascism in a way that is both disturbing and profoundly moving.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
