A Newsweek Best Book of the Year: “Captivating . . . rooted in first-rate research” (The New York Times Book Review). In this New York Times bestseller, once-secret government records and interviews tell the full story of the thousands of Nazis—from concentration camp guards to high-level officers in the Third Reich—who came to the United States after World War II and quietly settled into new lives. Many gained entry on their own as self-styled war “refugees.” But some had help from the US government. The CIA, the FBI, and the military all put Hitler’s minions to work as spies, intelligence assets, and leading scientists and engineers, whitewashing their histories. Only years after their arrival did private sleuths and government prosecutors begin trying to identify the hidden Nazis. Now, relying on a trove of newly disclosed documents and scores of interviews, Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative reporter Eric Lichtblau reveals this little-known and “disturbing” chapter of postwar history (Salon).

El verano de 2013 ha sido testigo del avance inquietante de los herederos del Nazismo en Europa, especialmente en Grecia, donde finalmente las autoridades del Estado se han decidido a actuar antes de llegar a un escenario cercano a la guerra civil, y en España, donde tras una violenta puesta en escena contra el nacionalismo Catalan, precedido por una vergonzosa y diaria exhibición de simbología Fascista y Nazi por todo el país, con muchos de sus implicados ligados presuntamente al Partido gobernante, o a sus juventudes. Incidentes que a fecha de hoy no han supuesto tramites de expulsión, y se calificaron de "chiquilladas". En este libro se aborda el proceso que les llevo al poder, desde un germen abonado con el racismo, y una religión pagana basada en los mitos nórdicos, el apoyo de los sectores industriales y militares Alemanes, pasando por su intención de extenderse a USA mediante un golpe de estado.

"Ordered to "Hold at all cost", the 110th Infantry Regt, 28th Infantry Div., fought Hitler's massive assault at the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge from Dec. 16-18, 1944. The last frontline town to fall was the garrison at Hosingen, Luxembourg. Surrounded, abandoned by the division's other units, and out of ammunition, food and water, 300 Americans surrendered on the morning of December 18 and spent the remainder of the war as Nazi prisoners. This is their story."--Back cover.

In 1941, the Franco regime established the Spanish Division of Volunteers to take part in the Russian campaign as a unit integrated into the German Wehrmacht. Recruited by both the Fascist Party (Falange) and the Spanish army, around 47,000 Spanish volunteers joined what would become known as the "Blue Division." The Spanish Blue Division on the Eastern Front, 1941–1945 explores an intimate history of the Blue Division "from below," using personal war diaries, letters, and memoirs, as well as official documents from military archives in Spain, Germany, Britain, and Russia. In addition to describing the Spanish experience on the Eastern Front, Xosé M. Núñez Seixas takes on controversial topics including the Blue Division’s proximity to the Holocaust and how members of the Blue Division have been remembered and commemorated. Addressing issues such as the behaviour of the Spaniards as occupiers, their perception by the Russians, their witnessing of the Holocaust, their commitment to the war aims of Nazi Germany, and their narratives on the war after 1945, this book illuminates the experience of Spanish combatants and occupied civilians.

A 2018 FINALIST FOR THE PULITZER PRIZE “[Hitler in Los Angeles] is part thriller and all chiller, about how close the California Reich came to succeeding” (Los Angeles Times). No American city was more important to the Nazis than Los Angeles, home to Hollywood, the greatest propaganda machine in the world. The Nazis plotted to kill the city's Jews and to sabotage the nation's military installations: Plans existed for murdering twenty-four prominent Hollywood figures, such as Al Jolson, Charlie Chaplin, and Louis B. Mayer; for driving through Boyle Heights and machine-gunning as many Jews as possible; and for blowing up defense installations and seizing munitions from National Guard armories along the Pacific Coast. U.S. law enforcement agencies were not paying close attention--preferring to monitor Reds rather than Nazis--and only attorney Leon Lewis and his daring ring of spies stood in the way. From 1933 until the end of World War II, Lewis, the man Nazis would come to call “the most dangerous Jew in Los Angeles,” ran a spy operation comprised of military veterans and their wives who infiltrated every Nazi and fascist group in Los Angeles. Often rising to leadership positions, they uncovered and foiled the Nazi's disturbing plans for death and destruction. Featuring a large cast of Nazis, undercover agents, and colorful supporting players, the Los Angeles Times bestselling Hitler in Los Angeles, by acclaimed historian Steven J. Ross, tells the story of Lewis's daring spy network in a time when hate groups had moved from the margins to the mainstream.

Leadership across cultural borders is the new frontier in leadership studies. Increased globalization means leaders are dealing with a variety of cultures in and out of their own countries. Leaders must be experts in understanding what cultural dimensions mean for being effective outside their own comfort zone. Americans in particular are often ill-equipped to understand the cultural complexities for international leadership. In Leadership Peruvian Style, author Tim McIntosh addresses how Peruvians define and practice leadership, providing a model to assist the cross-cultural worker in understanding leadership in both the home and host cultures. McIntoshs findings are based in an empirical study conducted in 2008 that featured focus groups composed of Peruvian citizens. The study results described in Leadership Peruvian Style are not only important for those working in Peru and other parts of Latin America, but also give insight into how to analyze the leadership profile of a particular culture and, in turn, make adjustments in order to be more effective. Through this analysis, McIntosh, who has spent twenty-seven years in leadership in Peru, has contributed to the raising up of a new generation of effective leaders in Latin America.

La memoria tiene sus matices, sus vaivenes, sus luces y sombras. En esa intermitencia –entre olvidos y recuerdos– conformamos nuestra identidad individual, social e histórica, porque después de todo, somos nuestra memoria. Esa idea subyace a la constelación de textos presentes en este libro, uniendo diferentes temas como un hilo conductor, sin prescindir de cierta renovación permanente que instala al lector en un lugar activo: el lugar de quien piensa y establece relaciones. Con un lenguaje sencillo y agradable, y al mismo tiempo con lucidez y agudeza, Iván Izquierdo nos acerca sus reflexiones con una idea clara: “No espero, y en verdad no deseo, desencadenar el mimetismo de que alguien decida pensar igual que yo”, pero “habrá sin duda numerosos puntos de contacto entre lo que yo digo aquí y lo que piensa cada uno de los lectores. A esos puntos me dirijo, y a cada uno de ellos lo celebro”. Se celebra, entonces, la diversidad y la comunión de pensamiento. Un pensamiento que incluye cuestiones cotidianas, aspectos propios de la ciencia, temas existenciales, y material relativo a la política, la historia o la actividad literaria. Un pensamiento sensible, en definitiva, acerca de lo que recordamos, lo que olvidamos, lo que somos y lo que pretendemos ser.

Using existing Spanish and German documents and interviews with men who survived both the Spanish Civil War and World War II, Proctor details the origins of Germany's Condor Legion, sent by Hitler to assist Franco's forces during the Spanish Civil War. He investigates the problems encountered by the legion in Spain, including its organization, the extent of its training, the nature of its personnel, communications, and logistics, and the experience of operating in a foreign country as one of three allied forces in the civil war. The author provides detailed information about the German involvement in critical battles such as the Aragon Offensive, the Battle of Ebro, and the final assault on Catalonia. Proctor also assesses how effectively the Luftwaffe applied the lessons it learned in Spain to World War II and analyzes the lessons it missed.
