Hey everyone, I'm over 400 pages into Ulrich's Hitler: Ascent, which is the new door stop biography on Hitler. The problem is, it's almost TOO much Hitler and zero cultural, political, and economic context. Hitler went to X, then Y, and he demanded Z, and got Q, is the entire narrative. There's nothing like 'given the way inflation was working against population X, they were drawn to a man who could state Y with conviction, and so they voted for him.'

So can anyone recommend a book that details more how the National Socialist Party was able to take power, from a cultural, economic, and political point of view, and less from a day to day individual's point of view? I'm of the more Marxist and Zinn school of history, that seems structures and large swaths of unnamed individuals as being the real agents of history, and individual people in power was reflections of facts on the ground.

Thanks!
