Historians commonly point to the 1965 Immigration and Nationality
Act as the inception of a new chapter in the story of American
immigration. This wide-ranging interdisciplinary volume brings
together scholars from varied disciplines to consider what is
genuinely new about this period.
Incorporating selective papers from a successful conference
organised by The Polish Society, this book presents challenging and
frequently revisionist views on a variety of controversial themes
relating to the interwar Polish Republic, including its struggle
over Upper Silesia, the question of national identity and its
ethnic minorities, the significance of the Battle of Warsaw, the
role of the press and its defence preparations in 1939. The volume
thus makes a contribution to scholarly debate of a crucial period
in Poland's recent history.
The most influential and substantial leader, after Hitler, in the
pre-1933 National Socialist Party was Gregor Strasser. This book
(originally published in 1983) is a comprehensive and scholarly
assessment of Strasser's significant and ultimately tragic career,
based largely on previously unpublished German archival material.
Strasser's importance as a Nazi propagandist, organiser, ideologue
and spokesman is examined and the analysis and interpretation which
follow are fundamentally revisionist in that many of the accepted
ideas about Strasser's career are challenged and shown to be
untenable. The book provides important insights into an interesting
personality which in turn considerably enhances our understanding
of the character of early National Socialism and the politics of
the Weimar Republic.
This book provides an important, original analysis of the Polish
community in the United Kingdom, adding up to a provocative
interpretation of the Pole's position in British society. The
chapters add to our understanding of the significant Polish
military effort alongside the Allies in defeating Nazi Germany,
while the appalling price the Poles paid at the end of the war at
the Yalta Conference is accentuated. This crass and wholly
unjustified betrayal of the cause of a Free Poland by the Allies
resulted directly in the formation of a large Polish community in
Britain.

Representing the scholarship of historians who have largely based
their findings on previously unpublished material, this volume
(originally published in 1978) provides a critical and provocative
assessment of many established opinions on significant themes
related to the dramatic rise and development of Adolf Hitler's Nazi
Movement. The volume discusses among other things: The development
of Hitler's foreign policy ideas The contributions of Gottfried
Feder and Gregor Strasser to the successful growth of the Nazi
party The social composition of the Stormtroopers The bureaucratic
structure of the Third Reich The character and scope of resistance
within Germany to the regime
