DOWNLOAD EBOOKDrawing primarily from German language sources, this book describes the desperate social and economic conditions in Germany before Hitler took power in 1933, and the programs that his government introduced to alleviate widespread unemployment, political discord, social misery and national bankruptcy. A study of Hitler's foreign policy objectives focuses on the political climate in 1930's Europe, and the circumstances confronting Hitler that influenced his diplomacy. The book shows how during World War II, not only Germany's chauvinistic occupation policies, but traditional nationalist barriers among Europeans hampered German efforts to gain sympathy and support on the continent. The covert, systematic sabotage of Hitler's war effort by army officers opposed to National Socialism, a subject seldom addressed by military historians, is examined in detail. Liberally quoting from period publications, the book also provides a concise and understandable explanation of the National Socialist ideology, including its views on liberalism, democracy, communism, labor, race, education, free enterprise and world history. Evidence presented in the text is thoroughly documented, with 1,056 footnotes and a bibliography of over 200 published works

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAdolf Hitler is perceived to be the most evil political leader of twentieth-century Europe. By presenting a critical selection of primary source material this book examines Hitler's background and involvement in the rise of National Socialism, the government of the Third Reich, leadership of the Second World War in Germany and his psychology, to discuss Hitler's credentials as a revolutionary. This volume includes examination of: * the general characteristics of revolutions and revolutionaries * Hitler as agitator, dictator, deceiver and warlord * Hitler's architectural and artistic ambitions * Hitler's mind and personality. Hitler investigates what it was that motivated this national leader to commit such monstrosities which still cast a shadow over Europe today.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis groundbreaking international bestseller lays to rest many myths about the Holocaust: that Germans were ignorant of the mass destruction of Jews, that the killers were all SS men, and that those who slaughtered Jews did so reluctantly. Hitler's Willing Executioners provides conclusive evidence that the extermination of European Jewry engaged the energies and enthusiasm of tens of thousands of ordinary Germans. Goldhagen reconstructs the climate of "eliminationist anti-Semitism" that made Hitler's pursuit of his genocidal goals possible and the radical persecution of the Jews during the 1930s popular. Drawing on a wealth of unused archival materials, principally the testimony of the killers themselves, Goldhagen takes us into the killing fields where Germans voluntarily hunted Jews like animals, tortured them wantonly, and then posed cheerfully for snapshots with their victims. From mobile killing units, to the camps, to the death marches, Goldhagen shows how ordinary Germans, nurtured in a society where Jews were seen as unalterable evil and dangerous, willingly followed their beliefs to their logical conclusion. "Hitler's Willing Executioner's is an original, indeed brilliant contribution to the...literature on the Holocaust."--New York Review of Books "The most important book ever published about the Holocaust...Eloquently written, meticulously documented, impassioned...A model of moral and scholarly integrity."--Philadelphia Inquirer

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Could another movement as powerful and as fanatical as the Hitler movement ever come to the fore again? Of the many works that describe and explore Nazism, few if any follow the approach of this book: that Nazi self-interpretations should be taken seriously as starting points for the analysis of National Socialism; and that it is, indeed, possible for a millenarian movement to be generated by any calamity, in any society. This book inquires into the nature and causes of the Nazi movement from the standpoint of classical Greek and Christian political theory. One of its premises is that National Socialism was a secular apocalyptic movement, probably similar to the religious apocalyptical uprisings of the Middle Ages and perhaps akin to the millenarianism of the apostle John" --Book jacket.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDietrich Bonhoeffer was a uniquely reluctant and distinctly German Lutheran revolutionary. In this volume, the author, an Anglican priest and historian, argues that Bonhoeffer’s powerful critique of Germany’s moral derailment needs to be understood as the expression of a devout Lutheran Protestant. Bonhoeffer gradually recognized the ways in which the intellectual and religious traditions of his own class - the Bildungsbürgertum - were enabling Nazi evil. In response, he offered a religiously inspired call to political opposition and Christian witness—which cost him his life. The author investigates Bonhoeffer’s stance in terms of his confrontation with the legacy of Hegelianism and Neo-Rankeanism, and by highlighting Bonhoeffer’s intellectual and spiritual journey, shows how his endeavor to politicially reeducate the German people must be examined in theological terms.
