This book traces the activity of the neo-Nazis in Germany from
the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989 to the present. Lewis, who
lived in Germany, based this pioneering study on first-hand
research. He emphasizes the impact of unification on the growth of
right-wing militancy throughout Germany--providing examples of
neo-Nazi and skinhead activities--as well as the government's
efforts to control the growing extremist movement. Although the
movement remains relatively small, five years after unification, it
is one that bears watching.
The first chapter reviews the events surrounding the unification
and sets the stage for the increasingly vocal neo-Nazi movement.
The primary goal of the following chapters is to trace the
movement's chronological evolution from unification through the
high points in 1992 and 1993 to the governmental efforts to reduce
the growing threat in 1994. Key to the discussions are the examples
of violence and brutality directly linked to the neo-Nazis in the
1990s. Numerous incidents are cited that reflect the sheer
brutality and wanton disregard for authority in a newly formed
nation struggling financially and emotionally with bringing two
divergent societies together. Imbedded in the chronological
dialogue are short, personal sketches of leading neo-Nazis both
inside and outside Germany who directly influence the movement. The
entire book encapsulates the rise, once again, of those elements of
Hitler's Third Reich that were so abhorrent in the 1930s and
1940s.
