The burning of tens of thousands of books on May 10, 1933, at the Opernplatz in Berlin, and later throughout Germany, became the prelude to the comprehensive consolidation and expansion of the Third Reich's totalitarian literary policies. Drawing on a wide range of sources, historian Jan-Peter Barbian—a leading authority on the discourse on oppressors and oppressed, rulers and ruled—tells the story of how the book market became a crucial pillar of political propaganda. Control over writers, publishers, bookstores, and libraries, their persecution, and the rise of self-censorship—the book paints a detailed picture of a society oppressed by dictatorship, in which anyone who failed to speak out inevitably became a functional part of the system of suppression of freedom and independence, be they a writer, an editor, or even an ordinary library patron.

Jan-Peter Barbian's book is the most profound and detailed analysis of Nazi Germany's literary policy, a comprehensive study of the era that reveals the mechanisms of totalitarian cultural control through the lens of the book market. It provides examples of how Nazi ideology was embedded in everyday life and illuminates the interplay between political regime and cultural repression during this period.
