Book SynopsisThis collection provides readers with a comprehensive overview of postwar representations of Nazism in popular culture, documenting and critiquing their enormous impact and importance.
Trade ReviewIn this edited volume, Buttsworth and Abbenhuis have successfully addressed a highly charged topic in scholarship: representations of Nazism in modern popular culture. …The many sources demonstrate the book's interdisciplinary character. Readers will find compelling analyses of everyday artifacts, such as comic books, television, and classroom curricula. Highly recommended. * Choice *
