Representing the scholarship of historians who have largely based their findings on previously unpublished material, this volume (originally published in 1978) provides a critical and provocative assessment of many established opinions on significant themes related to the dramatic rise and development of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Movement. The volume discusses among other things:    The development of Hitler’s foreign policy ideas   The contributions of Gottfried Feder and Gregor Strasser to the successful growth of the Nazi party   The social composition of the Stormtroopers   The bureaucratic structure of the Third Reich   The character and scope of resistance within Germany to the regime

Most of the six contributions are from an October 1997 conference in Stirling, England, organized by The Polish Society. They analyze such matters as Poland's historiography, her bitter dispute with Germany over the Upper Silesia early in the period, the sense of national identity and attitudes to ethnic minorities, the significance of her 1920 victory over the Red Army at Warsaw, the role of the press and its relationship with government, and the nature and extent of her defense preparations on the eve of World War II. A list government officials and a chronology are appended. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
