Oxford University Press Royals and the Reich
Book SynopsisThe link between Hitler''s Third Reich and European royalty has gone largely unexplored due to the secrecy surrounding royal families. Now, in Royals and the Reich, Jonathan Petropoulos uses unprecedented access to royal archives to tell the fascinating story of Queen Victoria''s great-grandsons, the Princes of Hesse, and the important role they played in the Nazi regime. Petropolous tells the fascinating tale of how, lured by prominent positions in the Nazi regime and highly susceptible to nationalist appeals, the princes became enthusiastic supporters of Hitler and helped make the Nazis socially acceptable to wealthy, high-society patrons. Permitted access to Hessen family private papers and the Royal Archives at Windsor Castle, Petropoulos follows the story of the House of Hesse through to its tragic denouement - the princes'' betrayal and persecution by an increasingly paranoid Hitler, followed by prosecution after the war.Trade ReviewMeticulously researched, 'Royals and the Reich' is a densly written but completely fascinating account of a family and its fortunes. * Peter Burton, Beige, Vol. 2, Issue 4 *Jonathan Petropoulous's 'Royals and the Reich: The Princes von Hessen in Nazi Germany' is to be welcomed. * Peter Burton, Beige, Vol.2, Issue 4 *Table of ContentsIntroduction ; 1.

Oxford University Press Inc Burning the Reichstag
Book SynopsisIn February 1933, Adolf Hitler had only a tenuous grasp on power. Chancellor of Germany for merely four weeks, he led a fragile coalition government. The Nazis had lost seats in the Reichstag in the recent election, and claimed only three of thirteen cabinet posts. Then on February 27th, arson sent the Reichstag, the home and symbol of German democracy, up in flames. Immediately blaming the Communists, Hitler''s new government approved a decree that tore the heart out of the democratic constitution of the Weimar Republic and cancelled the rule of law. Five thousand people were immediately arrested. The Reichstag fire marked the true beginning of the Third Reich, which ruled for 12 more years. The controversy surrounding the fire''s origins has endured for 80.In Burning the Reichstag, Benjamin Hett offers a gripping account of Hitler''s rise to dictatorship-one that challenges orthodoxy and recovers the true significance of the part the fire played. At the scene the police arrested 23-yTrade ReviewIt is an impressive piece of work that presents fresh evidence ...

Oxford University Press Histories of the Holocaust
Book SynopsisThe Holocaust is one of the most intensively studied phenomena in modern history. The volume of writing that fuels the numerous debates about it is overwhelming in quantity and diversity. Even those who have dedicated their professional lives to understanding the Holocaust cannot assimilate it all. There is, then, an urgent need to synthesize and evaluate the complex historiography on the Holocaust, exploring the major themes and debates relating to it and drawing widely on the findings of a great deal of research. Concentrating on the work of the last two decades, Histories of the Holocaust examines the ''Final Solution'' as a European project, the decision-making process, perpetrator research, plunder and collaboration, regional studies, ghettos, camps, race science, antisemitic ideology, and recent debates concerning modernity, organization theory, colonialism, genocide studies, and cultural history. Research on victims is discussed, but Stone focuses more closely on perpetrators, rTrade ReviewEssential... concise, elegantly written, and well argued...A superb engagement with Holocaust scholarship. * John David Smith, Choice *If someone were to read only one book on Nazi Germany's efforts to exterminate European Jewry during World War II, it should be Dan Stone's Histories of the Holocaust. * Mark Brennan, Quarterly Review *Dan Stone examines critically and insightfully the post-1989 literature in question, together with the schools of thought and areas of debate. The impressive range, quantity and diversity of the material discussed makes Stones book the first interpretive guide to this vast literature. * Florin Lobont, Reviews in History *Truly superb...the way in which Dan Stone delineates the issues, aided by several previous works in this area, is simply without equal. * Matthew Feldman, Holocaust Studies *Stone has written an intelligent, wide-ranging and thought-provoking textbook on the Holocaust which will be indispensable reading for scholars and students alike ... a stellar critical synthesis. * Christian Goeschel, European History Quarterly *highly intelligent and judicious discussion of the most recent trends in Holocaust historiography ... an ambitious project which succeeds * Larry Eugene Jones, English Historical Review *Histories of the Holocaust demonstrates a magisterial grasp of its subject. It will become required reading on any course dedicated specifically to the history of the Holocaust. * Nicholas Chare, Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory *Table of ContentsIntroduction: Thinking about the Holocaust ; 1. The 'Final Solution': A German or European Project? ; 2. The Decision-Making Process in Context ; 3. The Holocaust: Child of Modernity? ; 4. Race Science: The Basis of the Nazi Worldview? ; 5.
