A new approach that places the history of Nazism in a bold international perspective, revealing the moral arguments and debates which it provoked, and the dilemmas faced by British Christians. This volume shows how British men and women intervened, protested, and campaigned against Hitler's regime, while supporting its victims.
In this ground-breaking study, Andrew Chandler examines the complex relationship between religions and politics, church and state, and national and international politics during the period that witnessed the rise and fall of the Third Reich. He explores these dilemmas within the context of the tumultuous years when many British Christian confronted and challenged the Nazi regime. Chandler shows how many of the key moral questions which came to define the modern world now crystallized: What view should the Christian take of the political state? How should the claims of dictators and democrats be judged? How should the Church protest against injustice – and what can be done about it? How should peace be preserved and when should war be declared? How should a just war be justly fought? It is a history which places the Third Reich firmly in an international perspective, revealing the moral arguments and debates that Nazism provoked across the democracies. It is also an important study of the many ways in which men and women outside Germany intervened, protested, and campaigned against the Hitler regime and sought to support its critics and its victims.

Andrew Chandler has published widely in the area of twentieth-century religious and political history. His most recent book was the widely praised George Bell, Bishop of Chichester: Church, State and Resistance in the Age of Dictatorship (Eerdmans, 2016). He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
