How do terror and popularity merge under a dictatorship? How did
the Gestapo deal with critics of Nazism? Based on hundreds of
secret police case files, Enemies of the People explores the
day-to-day reality of political policing under Hitler. Examining
the Gestapo's policy of 'selective enforcement', J. Ryan Stackhouse
challenges the abiding perception of the Gestapo as policing
exclusively through terror. Instead, he reveals the complex system
of enforcement that defined the relationship between state and
society in the Third Reich and helps to explain the Germans'
abiding support for Hitler and their complicity in the regime's
crimes. Stories of everyday life in Nazi Germany paint the clearest
picture yet of just how differently the Gestapo handled certain
groups and actions, and the routine investigation, interrogation,
and enforcement practices behind this system. Enemies of the People
offers penetrating insights into just how reasonable selective
enforcement appeared to Germans, and draws unavoidable parallels
with the contemporary threat of authoritarianism.
