Taylor & Francis Ltd The Danish AvantGarde and World War II
Book SynopsisThis is the first book to focus on Helhesten (The Hell-Horse), an avant-garde artistsâ collective active during the Nazi occupation of Denmark and one of the few tangible connections between radical European art groups from the 1920s to the 1960s. The Danesâ deliberately unskilled painterly abstraction, embrace of the tradition of dansk folkelighed (the popular) and its iterations of egalitarianism and consensus reform, called for the political relevance of art and interrogated the ideologies underlying culture itself. The groupâs cultural activism presents an alternative trajectory of continuity, which challenges the customary view of World War II as a moment of artistic rupture.Trade Review"This work complicates histories of resistance activity under National Socialist occupation both in Denmark and in general through its nuanced reading of the ideology, publishing activities, and exhibition practices of the artists’ collective Helhesten. Dr. Greaves illuminates the group’s brilliant and strategic uses of Danish history, symbolism, and values, as well as the cultural aesthetics of the Nazi occupiers, in their cultural work between 1941 and 1945."--Patricia G. Berman, Wellesley CollegeTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1 Dansk Modernisme Reconsidered; 2 "What about Culture?"

Taylor & Francis Ltd Fascist in the Family
Book SynopsisJohn Beckett was a rising political star. Elected as Labour''s youngest M.P. in 1924, he was constantly in the news and tipped for greatness.But ten years later he was propaganda chief for Mosley's fascists, and one of Britain's three best known anti-Semites. Yet his mother, whom he loved, was a Jew. Her ancestors were Solomons, Isaacs and Jacobsons, originally from Prussia. He successfully hid his Jewish ancestry all his life he said his mother's family were fisher folk from the east coast. His son, the author of this book, acclaimed political biographer and journalist Francis Beckett, did not discover the truth until John Beckett had been dead for years.He left Mosley and founded the National Socialist League with William Joyce, later Lord Haw Haw, and spent the war years in prison, considered a danger to the war effort.For the rest of his life, and all of Francis Beckett's childhood, John Beckett and his family were closely watched by the secuTrade Review"John Beckett was a political chameleon: first at one with the fist-clenching left, then in awe of the goose-stepping fascists. He was also a Walter Mitty so who really knows? This author does. Francis Beckett's personal partiality doesn't blunt his fine journalist's pen nor cloud his judgement and integrity; but the pain shines through. He writes with compelling candour about his father. It is as moving for the reader as it must have been painful for the author."Alastair Stewart OBE, ITV News"The youngest Labour MP in 1925, by 1940 John Beckett was in prison as a danger to the war effort. His son has written a courageously honest, moving and sensitive account of a socialist who ended up despising the workers, a Jew who ended up hating Jews, a democrat who became contemptuous of democracy. It is a penetrating analysis of the political times in which he lived, not least because it illuminates the conditions that can – if freedom is not strong, vigilant and purposeful - breed bigotry and fascism. It is a valuable history as well as an instructive biography."Neil Kinnock, Leader of the Labour Party 1983-1992"A fascinating insight into the unsavoury practices of the security services, and a moving portrait of a talented, wayward father who denied his Jewishness at great cost to himself and all around him."Paul Routledge, political biographer and commentator for the Mirror and Tribune magazine, UK"John Beckett was a Labour MP who later took up with fascism. In Fascist in the Family his son Francis, journalist, historian and playwright engages in the difficult task of tracing his father's tempestuous and ultimately unfulfilled life. His readable, well-researched, questioning and honest biography serves as a British equivalent of My Nazi Legacy."Colin Holmes, Emeritus Professor of History, University of Sheffield, UK"Part personal memoir, part historical reconstruction, Francis Beckett’s hugely readable book takes us into the murky worlds of right-wing extremism and the British secret state. As Beckett unravels his father’s disturbing history, and seeks to come to terms with it, he also reminds us of the conflicts of conscience, identity and family loyalty that so fervent a commitment to fascism inevitably produced."Kevin Morgan, Professor of Politics and Contemporary History, University of Manchester, UK"This is a gripping account of a singularly tragic political life.This can't have been an easy book to research or write. Thanks to Beckett's intellectual and emotional honesty, however, it offers a fascinating insight into the complex personal origins of the politics of hatred, as well as a timely reminder that some of our most dangerous public figures possess uncommon human appeal."Melissa Benn, The New Statesman"In an attempt to reconcile the two sides of John Beckett’s character, Francis, has raked though the embers of his father’s life, and in the process unearthed a remarkable tangle of contradictions. In many ways it’s a desperate story. Francis Beckett never excuses his father — he’s clearly appalled by what he did — but at the same time there is an unmistakable undercurrent of affection here." John Preston, Daily Mail"Francis Beckett has been an adornment of left journalism for 40 years. Now he has written this remarkable book about his father John Beckett.This is a beautifully written account of British fascism written from the inside – a fascist family story in every sense. Francis Beckett’s masterly biography of his fascist father should be read by all who want to know where the left can go wrong."Denis MacShane, Tribune Magazine"Fascist in the Family makes for fascinating reading at a time of economic and political uncertainty. Francis Beckett has provided a unique insight into what happens when a man, apparently devoted to the good of the common people, turns to racism and hatred to pursue his personal political vision."Martin Bright, The Jewish Chronicle"Francis Beckett has written a moving account of growing up under the shadow of fascism. He provides both hard academic analysis and a personal account of the pain and havoc caused by extremist politics."Jane Ridley, The Oldie"Francis Beckett weaves this story of family, fascism and failure with considerable skill. It must have been difficult for the author to confront the painful ‘sins of the father’ again but we should congratulate him for making that effort as this succeeds admirably as memoir, biography and political history. From a life doomed to failure and hate, he has created a lasting literary triumph."Leopold Trepper, Searchlight "Francis Beckett vividly charts how his father’s shortcomings, combined with the twists and turns of the interwar left, led him towards fascism."Daniel Trilling, The Guardian"Francis Beckett’s poignant and compelling biography is the story of a family, as well as a political history. It’s rich in detail, from the glimpses of appalling social norms to the strange mix of personalities who fetched up in the casserole of public life."Mary Kenny, The Literary Review"This fascinating book gives us a moving account of his father’s decline. This, and the keenly researched and scrupulously impartial examination of his father’s earlier career, makes this a very important contribution to our understanding of the complexity of some of the forces that brought people to choose fascism as their creed."Professor Richard Griffiths, Patterns of Prejudice"The sheer scale of the research and personal interviews he has carried out suggests a momentous cathartic process and the subject matter belies the pleasure of reading it."John Haylett, The Morning Star"In his extraordinary book, Fascist in the Family, Francis Beckett, acclaimed journalist and contemporary historian, chronicles how his late father, John, went from being a popular Labour MP to becoming propaganda chief for fascist leader Oswald Mosley. The events took place more than 70 years ago but the issues of racism, nationalism and anti-semitism have strong resonances today."Peter Gruner, Camden New Journal"Beckett's account of his father's embrace of anti-Semitic pro Nazi politics is as absorbing as it is salutary in its explanations of the transformation of radical socialist to racist national socialist."Mike Davis, The Chartist"Sharp-shooting radical journalist and writer Francis Beckett…has followed the paper trail with consummate energy and the detail of political life, especially in the inter-wars years, is absorbing. This is a most readable study and a painful one too as one begins to gauge the effect of John Beckett’s chequered career on his family."Eric Midwinter, Third Age MattersAs featured in The Guardian, on BBC Radio 4 Today Programme and on BBC World Service.Table of ContentsIntroduction1.

Cambridge University Press Dict State Plan Soc Thy Ger Dem Rep
Book SynopsisThis book examines the way communist East Germany worked from the point of view of its experts in law, economics, philosophy and cybernetics. The state-socialist countries aimed for a post-capitalist modernization, which they hoped to achieve by way of dictatorship. This failed combination of dictatorship and social transformation contains lessons that remain relevant today.Trade Review'This is an important book. It provides a rare, concise and penetrating analysis of East German theorists' reactions to the evolving problems of socialism in the GDR … a highly readable introduction to some of the major intellectual debates during the Ulbricht years … excellent book … Caldwell has written an important study which will reward its readers with a much more sophisticated understanding of the GDR and its intellectual climate. For this reason, the book is not just important reading for those interested in social and political theory, but also for those interested in the political, cultural and everyday history of the GDR.' German History'… engaging and thoroughly readable …' Totalitarianism and Democracy'… Peter C. Caldwell's present work superbly details how the GDR's own economists and intellectuals had clearly foreseen, already in the 1950s, the quagmire, and tyranny, that an 'economically planned' and 'consciously directed' society would lead to. In an engaging and thoroughly readable monograph, Caldwell examines the economy, law, and social philosophy in the GDR from 1949 to 1968 … Caldwell's project is ambitious, broad, and largely successful.'

Cambridge University Press The Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial 19631965
Book SynopsisThe Frankfurt Auschwitz trial was the largest, most public, and most important trial of Holocaust perpetrators conducted in West German courts. Drawing on a wide range of archival sources, Devin O. Pendas provides a comprehensive history of this momentous event. This book provides a compelling account of the divided response to the trial among the West German public.Trade Review"In his book, Devin O. Pendas meticulously examines every phase of the trial. He provides an in-depth account of the complex, lengthy legal and political machinations that preceded the trial, moves on to an exhaustive analysis of the actual courtroom proceedings and concludes with an assessment of German public reactions. The extremely detailed narrative will certainly satisfy readers who prefer encyclopedic rigor, although others might consider the book's reconstruction of the procedural maneuvers during the trial to be denser than necessary, despite the author's formidable lucidity. The impressive archival research on which the book is based is well reflected in its extensive citations, which Cambridge University Press admirably continues to print at the bottom of the page." - Alan E. Steinweis, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, H-NET"He has written an important, elegantly argued, and meticulously researched book that enriches our understanding of a crucial legal event." -Lawrence Douglas, American Historical Review"...provides a meticulously detailed and comprehensive analysis: from the pretrial history to its public repercussions; from the courtroom proceedings to their wider political and legal contexts (the Cold war, the politics of the past in the Federal Republic, German criminal law, and so on)." -Journal of Genocide ResearchTable of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press Inside Ig Farben
Book SynopsisIG Farben became synonymous with German industry's participation in the crimes of the Nazi regime. This book deals in depth with one of IG Farben's leading factories, Hoechst, during the Third Reich. Throughout, the author sheds light on the motivations of those involved.Trade Review"Recommended." -Choice"...Lindner's study is an important contribution not only in understanding the undertakings of this single plant of the IG Farben concern. It is also...a remarkably notable contribution to our knowledge of social relationships between managers and employees in German industry during the Third Reich." -Jonas Scherner, EH.NET"Stephan H. Lindner's work is a micro-history of the Hoechst factories and laboratories during the National Socialist years." -L. M. Stallbaumer-Beishline, H-German"Both in its sources and in its focus, Lindner’s work sets itself apart from other analyses of the subject and demonstrates how National Socialism shaped the conduct of iddle and upper management in a division of one of the most significant corporations of its time." -Jeffrey Allan Johnson, Chemical Heritage Newsmagazine"...first objective study of Hoechst." -Anthony Stranges, Technology and Culture"Lindner has written an honest and complex book motivated by an unsparing desire to tell the whole truth. He eschews blanket condemnations, and his judgment remains differentiated throughout. A good part of the strength of Lindner’s book lies in his multifaceted examination of countless individual cases in all their ramifications." -Hermann Beck, Central European History"Stephan Lindner’s Inside IG Farben takes us into the belly of the beast with a sober, surprisingly well-documented analysis of one of the larger of those corporations, the complex of factories and laboratories of Hoechst in Frankfurt. The story is as revealing as it is chilling." -ISIS, ALAN BEYERCHEN"Lindner has set a high standard for future studies of the complicity of the business community with dictatorial states." -Jeffery Lewis, Business History Review"...Lindner's well-written study provides new insights into the workings of one the most significant companies of the Nazi economy." -Armin Grunbacher, European History Quarterly"...exceptionally well-researched and conscientiously written volume..." -Dr. Diane Cypkin, Martyrdom & ResistanceTable of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press Quisling A Study in Treachery
Book SynopsisThe word 'Quisling' is used all over the world as a synonym for 'traitor' or 'treachery'. The original Vidkun Quisling (1887â1945) was a gifted Norwegian army officer who earned notoriety when he sided with the Nazis on the first day of Norway's entry into the Second World War. Quisling's coup d'Ãtat in Oslo on 9 April 1940 was immediately denounced as an act of arch-treason, and even Churchill spoke of 'the vile race of Quislings'. Hans Fredrik Dahl's 1999 biography makes use of a complete range of source material from Nordic, German, Italian and Russian archives, and of family archives now in the USA. He traces Quisling's ultimately futile career from his earlier internationalist career as a diplomat and businessman to the drama of his trial and execution for high treason in 1945.Trade Review'… Dahl's work constitutes a welcome climax to Quisling studies, and has given us by far the fullest understanding of its subject, becoming, in fact, one of the outstanding biographies of the Second World War era'.
