The Origins Of The Final Solution
The Origins Of The Final
Solution
    The Origins of the Final
    Solution is the most
    detailed, careful, and
    comprehensive analysis to
    date of the descent of
    the Nazi persecution of
    the Jews into mass
    murder. Arguing that
    genocide was not a
    preconceived plan but
    rather a discovered
    possibility, Christopher
    Browning explains how the
    decision to murder the
    Jews en masse emerged in
    stages and by a process
    of elimination that
    gradually foreclosed
    plans for their expulsion
    from Europe. Only in the
    interval between late
    September and late
    October 1941 did the
    desire to 'remove' the
    Jews intersect with the
    discovery of acceptable
    means of killing them on
    a large scale and with
    the euphoria of expected
    victory in Russia, all
    of which followed on from
    two years of 'race war'
    and 'racial imperialism'
    in eastern Europe that
    prepared 'ordinary
    Germans' for this fateful
    task.

    insight into Nazi
    mentality during the most
    bloody conflict in

    documentary series of all
    times The Nazis A Warning
    from History won a host
    of awards, including a
    Bafta and an
    International Documentary
    Award. The accompanying
    book broke new ground in
    our understanding of the
    Nazi regime and was
    praised for getting to
    the heart of the most
    troubling and elusive
    questions of Germany
    before and during World
    War Two. The dramatic and
    incredible story that
    unfolds in these pages,
    once read, is not easily
    forgetten. scholars
    across the world owe a
    considerable debt of
    gratitude to Laurence
    Rees for his immense and
    unique contribution to
    historical understanding.

Fascism: A History
Fascism: A History
    Fascism is one of the
    most destructive and
    influential political
    movements of the
    twentieth century. Its
    imagery-of mad dictators
    and nihilistic
    violence-haunts our
    imaginations, and its
    historical legacy is
    almost too momentous to
    be understood. At the
    same time it is curiously
    elusive: how do we define
    fascism? What is the
    basis of its appeal? Why
    did it take root so
    successfully in Germany
    and Italy, and not in
    France or Britain?
    Fascism: A History-a
    sweeping, enthralling
    study-tackles theses
    questions, and considers
    fascism in the round. It
    draws together its
    different strands, in
    Italy, Germany, France,
    and Britain, looking at
    its evolution up and
    during the Second World
    War; and it assesses
    post-war fascism, and
    examines its future in a
    Europe whose boundaries
    continue to change. Along
    the way, Fascism
    provides vivid portraits
    of Mussolini, Hitler,
    Oswald Mosley and other
    key figures within the
    movement. Lucid,
    dramatic, challenging,
    Fascism is a definitive
    book of its kind.

Under Two Dictators: Prisoner of Stalin and Hitler: With an introduction by Nikolaus Wachsmann
Under Two Dictators: Prisoner
Of Stalin And Hitler: With An
Introduction By Nikolaus
Wachsmann
    This book is a unique
    account by a survivor of
    both the Soviet and Nazi
    concentration camps: its
    author, Margarete
    Buber-Neumann, was a
    loyal member of the
    German Communist party.
    From 1935 she and her
    second husband, Heinz
    Neumann, were political
    refugees in Moscow. In
    April 1937 Neumann was
    arrested by the secret
    police, and executed by
    the end of the year. She
    herself was arrested in
    1938. In Under Two
    Dictators
    Buber-Neumann describes
    the two years of
    suffering she endured in
    the Soviet prisons and in
    the huge Central-Asian
    concentration and slave
    labour camp of Karaganda;
    her extradition to the
    Gestapo in 1940 at the
    time of the Stalin-Hitler
    Friendship Pact; and her
    five years of suffering
    in the Nazi concentration
    and death camp for women,
    Ravensbrück. Her story
    displays extraordinary
    powers of observation and
    of memory as she
    describes her own fate,
    as well as those of
    hundreds of fellow
    prisoners. She explores
    the behaviour of the
    guards, supervisors,
    police and secret police
    and compares and
    contrasts Stalin and

White Eagle, Red Star: The Polish-Soviet War 1919-20
White Eagle, Red Star: The
Polish-Soviet War 1919-20
    A neglected event in
    history, the
    Polish-Soviet War of
    1919-20 was not the final
    episode in the wars of
    intervention, but an
    independent enterprise on
    the Polish side with
    minimal support from the
    Entente Powers. In many
    English history books,
    it appears under the
    erroneous title of the
    'Russo-Polish War', and
    is treated as just one
    spot in the rash of
    border conflicts which
    broke out all over Europe
    at this time. As far as
    Soviet history is
    concerned, the war with
    Poland represents the
    first occasion when the
    Red Army set out to
    revolutionise the whole
    of Europe - for the
    Poles, it was an
    occasion when they
    finally justified their
    claim to independent
    statehood. In White
    Eagle, Red Star,
    Professor Norman Davies
    gives a full account of
    the war, with its
    dramatic climax in August
    1920 when the Red Army -
    sure of victory and
    pledged to carry the
    Revolution across Europe
    to 'water our horses on
    the Rhine' - was crushed
    by a devastating Polish
    attack, since known as
    the 'miracle on the
    Vistula'. Drawing on both
    Polish and Russian
    sources, Davies
    illustrates the narrative
    with documentary material
    which hitherto has not
    been readily available
    and shows how the war was
    far more than an
    'episode' in East
    European affairs, but
    largely determined the
    course of European
    history for the next
    twenty years or more.

Koba The Dread
Koba The Dread
    Koba the Dread is the
    successor to Amis's
    celebrated memoir,
    Experience. It addresses
    itself to the central
    lacuna of
    twentieth-century
    thought: the indulgence
    of communism by Western
    intellectuals. In between
    the personal beginning
    and the personal ending,
    Amis gives us perhaps the
    best one hundred pages
    ever written about
    Stalin: Koba the Dread,
    Iosif the Terrible. The
    author's father,
    Kingsley Amis, was 'a
    Comintern dogsbody' (as
    he would come to put it)
    from 1941 to 1956. His
    second-closest, and
    later in life his closest
    friend, was Robert
    Conquest, whose book The
    Great Terror was second
    only to Solzhenitsyn's
    The Gulag Archipelago in
    undermining the USSR.
    Amis's remarkable memoir
    explores these
    connections. Stalin said
    that the death of one
    person was tragic, the
    death of a million a mere
    'statistic'. Koba the
    Dread, during whose
    course the author absorbs
    a particular, a familial
    death, is a rebuttal of
    Stalin's aphorism.
