The Rise of the Nazis

New Frontiers in History

by Conan Fischer

Delves into the still obscure question of how and why the Nazi party seized power in Germany by examining the foreign relations, politics, and society of the Weimar Republic, and features of the Nazi party itself. Discusses the role of the elites in the party's rise, the coherence and credibility of its ideology, how it differed from its competitors, how Hitler forged and funded it so quickly, who supported it and why, and the place of Nazism in the history of Europe. Includes 61 primary documents. Distributed in the US by St. Martin's Press. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
