As neo-fascist rumblings are being felt again throughout Europe,
it is proper to re-examine the development of the Third Reich and
the philosophies of its leaders. The Nazi Elite presents twenty-two
biographical sketches of some of the most notorious fascist leaders
of the twentieth century: Joseph Goebbels, propagandist
extraordinaire; Heinrich Himmler, the director of the infamous SS;
Joachim von Ribbentrop, Nazi foreign minister; Rudolf Hess,
considered by many to be deputy Fuehrer; Hermann Goerring, Hitler's
right- hand man; Martin Bormann; Alfred Rosenberg; Otto Ohlendorf;
Ernst Julius Rohm; and many others of the inner circle, including,
of course, Adolf Hitler himself.
In a series of highly readable essays, The Nazi Eliteexamines
the personalities, histories, and philosophies of these men,
dispels common stereotypes, and offers new perspectives. Composed
by leading scholars in the U.S. and Europe, many of whom have
written definitive full-length biographies on their subjects, these
essays shed light on historical controversies, such as the role of
modernization during the Third Reich and the basis of Hitler's
power as dictator.
The Nazi Elite is illuminating reading for every observer of
extremist politics and for anyone interested in the history of our
century.
