Marking the fiftieth anniversary of Hitler's seizure of power, a
group of leading historians and political sociologists participated
in a historical reassessment of the Nazi regime sponsored by the
Harvard Center for European Studies. Their papers focus on recent
scholarly controversies and on the questions that have preoccupied
observers since the events took place: the nature of Nazi support,
the role of the dictator, the function of ideology and
anti-Semitism, and the goals of foreign policy. Some of the
specific issues addressed include the reason for the collapse of
the Weimar Republic, the social origins of Nazi Party members, the
role of women under Nazism, the relationship of Nazi leaders to the
older German bureaucratic framework, and the impact of Nazi
policies abroad. The volume thus provides an incisive briefing on
Hitler's rise to power and summarizes the major interpretations of
the issues still under debate.
