Many important right-wing political figures from the late
nineteenth century and inter-war period have been overshadowed in
history by Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. 'In the Shadow of Hitler:
Personalities of the Right in Central and Eastern Europe' reviews
the careers of sixteen of the most important figures in right-wing
politics in Central and Eastern Europe during this period. It
includes politicians, ideologue sand 'men of action' in Germany and
Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Serbia
and Croatia. Some of these were Nazi sympathisers or contributed to
the making of Nazi ideology. Others rejected German National
Socialism in favour of rival nationalist and right-wing ideologies
and programmes, deliberately distancing themselves from Nazism. As
th epower and ambition of the Third Reich grew in the1930s, so many
of the personalities reviewed here were obliged to come to terms
with the shadow cast over the region by Nazi Germany and to make
their own political and other compromises. This volume includes
chapters on the principal fascist and right-wing politicians in
inter-war Central and Eastern Europe - among others, Codreanu and
Antonescu in Romania, Gombos and Szalasi inHungary, Ljotic in
Serbia, Dmowski in Poland, Henlein and Tiso in Czechoslovakia -
while also analysing the intellectual contribution to the
development of the right made by an earlier generation including
D'Annunzio, Schonerer and Fritsch. All of these 'personalities of
the right' are recognized as influential in the development and
making of right-wing politics in their home countries and
internationally. Nevertheless, in most historical writing on the
history of the European right, they have been generally accorded a
lesser place since the focus of interest is so often directed upon
Nazi Germany and its leader. It is the purpose of this volume to
bring the right-wing leadership of late nineteenth century and
inter-war Central and Eastern Europe out from under the shadow cast
by Adolf Hitler.
