Greenwood Publishing Group : A Nazi Legacy

Description

This volume offers a complete overview of the continuation of Nazi influences that permeated a small portion of postwar Germany's population. Rand C. Lewis traces the history of these influences, which resulted in a small, yet growing neo-Nazi militant movement that became far more visible in the 1980s. He fully chronicles the development of this militancy, and the evolution of its use of right-wing terrorism. Unlike other scholars who call neo-Nazism a modern phenomenon, Lewis argues that there is a direct link between the Nazis and the postwar right-wing extremist movements.

Reviews:

-This volume provides a detailed account of the role of right-wing extremism in postwar Germany. Lewis furnishes a history that ranges from efforts to reconstruct a Nazi movement undertaken while the country was still under allied occupation to recent attempts to exploit the uncertainties caused by German reunification. There are really two stories that unfold. The first involves efforts by rightist leaders, often ex-Nazis, to create electorally viable political parties (the Republicans most recently) in order to win the support of voters for programs emphasizing xenophobia and national glory. The second tale is that of the small groups, often neo-Nazi, which, from time to time, have used terrorist violence against guest workers, American military personnel, and German Jews in hopes that by so doing they will promote a right-wing revival. Lewis analyzes the linkages between these violent units and like-minded organizations in the Middle East and in the US. In all, the book is an effective updating of such earlier work as John Nagle's The National Democratic Party and Kurt Tauber's Beyond Eagle and Swastika.
