| Summary: | This meticulously researched volume deepens Jeffrey Herf's extended analysis of the complexities and contradictions within National Socialism, especially with regard to the Holocaust. Herf's initial monograph, Reactionary Modernism (1984) explored ideological components that fed into Nazi thought, in particular the combination of cultural anti-modernism and a fascination with modern technology. His subsequent volumes broadened the treatment of Nazi Germany in important ways. He has mapped the memory of the era in the two postwar Germanys, and analyzed the propaganda of the dictatorship—including both the antisemitism that underpinned the genocide in Europe and the intentional dissemination of that antisemitism into the Arab world. |
