The Radical Right in Germany - 1870 to the Present (Paperback)

The Radical Right has represented a major element in German politics and society since the 1870s, though the inevitable focus on the Third Reich has tended to distort the wider picture. Tracing the history of right-wing politics through the full span of Germany's life as a nation, Lee McGowan shows that the attitudes and policies of the radical right neither began with Hitler's pursuit of power in the 1920s nor ended with his death in the ruins of Berlin. Topical and relevant, this is an important book for all those interested in modern Germany.
