The intention of *The Top Ten of Nazism* is to include, with as little sensationalism as possible but without sparing any evidence, the main leaders of Nazism, those in the inner circle of power, those who, dazzled and proactive, accompanied the leader from the very conception and birth of the Beast. Here, the key moments in the lives of the following figures of National Socialism are described and analyzed: Göring, Röhm, Himmler, Hess, Goebbels, Heydrich, Daluege, Bormann, Speer, and Magda Goebbels. There are tons of books on the subject, and the question is: why publish yet another? It is the author, Esteban Martínez Sifuentes, who is convinced that, from a perspective of knowledge and vigilance, this issue can never be sufficiently explored. We must continue to proclaim the facts from a thousand different angles, with a sense of denunciation, warning, demystification, and deconstruction, always from critical and, if possible, novel perspectives. With his characteristic incisiveness, he dissects these figures while reflecting on their impact on Hitler, based on blind submission and pathological radicalism, in a series of essays that question and reveal both their significance and their failings.

"This book is a true rarity because it is uncommon for books on this side of the Atlantic to be so critical and, at the same time, so entertaining, about that devastating phenomenon that was, and in many ways still is, Nazism. A wound that has not healed in the history of humanity. The ten main architects of barbarity seen from unprecedented angles: a painful perspective and a cautionary tale to prevent that nightmare from ever being repeated for Jews, political dissidents, non-Aryans, the world... What was happening then? Why did so many millions of Germans fall into that pernicious ideological trap?" Esteban Martínez Sifuentes' book offers abundant clues to understanding the abyss created by the Nazis, who were, at least initially, human beings like you and me... Something to think about."
