In 1933, George L. Mosse fled Berlin and settled in the United
States, where he went on to become a renowned historian at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison. Through rigorous and innovative
scholarship, Mosse uncovered the forces that spurred antisemitism,
racism, nationalism, and populism. His transformative work was
propelled by a desire to know his own persecutors and has been
vital to generations of scholars seeking to understand the cultural
and intellectual origins and mechanisms of Nazism. This translation
makes Emilio Gentile's groundbreaking study of Mosse's life and
work available to English language readers. A leading authority on
fascism, totalitarianism, and Mosse's legacy, Gentile draws on a
wealth of published and unpublished material, including letters,
interviews, lecture plans, and marginalia from Mosse's personal
library. Gentile details how the senior scholar eschewed polemics
and employed rigorous academic standards to better understand
fascism and the "catastrophe of the modern man"-how masculinity
transformed into a destructive ideology. As long as wars are waged
over political beliefs in popular culture, Mosse's theories of
totalitarianism will remain as relevant as ever.
