Rather than a technical treatise based on equations, this study of
the Hitler era in Germany from the standpoint of chaos-complexity
theory is a narrative history based on a non-linear perspective.
After defining basic chaos-complexity concepts and terms, like
"sensitivity to initial conditions" and "fractals," the book
explores the Third Reich as a chaotic system; the clash between the
image of Nazi technical prowess and the anti-modernism in National
Socialist ideology; and German and Nazi military tactics and
doctrine as ways of coping with the chaos of war and imposing it
upon the enemy. Beaumont also looks at attempts to instill the
arrogance and rage of the Nazi Party's brown-shirted storm troops
into the Wehrmacht through the National Socialist Leadership
Officer program, the "Nazi Commissars." What were the intricate
causal roots of the Endloesung or Final Solution? Why did the
Allies refuse to mount a direct attack on the Nazi infrastructure
responsible for the Holocaust? The study concludes with a
discussion of paradoxes and implications, considering such
questions as whether Nazism was a form of chaos, in the theoretical
sense of its being a degree of order within apparently random
turbulence, or a kind of recurring pathology, as well as whether
social and historical processes are tractable to
chaos-complexity-based analyses.
