An interesting study of the Gestapo from remaining source materials, which mainly covers routine police and investigative work. In that regard it’s highly recommended and thorough in its coverage, and it’s put me onto a few interesting titles and autobiographies for further research.
However, the one big criticism is that it is unable to describe in any real detail the relationship between the Gestapo and the concentration camps – apparently, because any such records were usually (intentionally) destroyed by Gestapo members at the end of the war, or (unintentionally) by allied bombers during it. So read with that key limitation in mind.
