  • An Analysis of Ian Kershaw's The "Hitler Myth"

    Image and Reality in the Third Reich

    by Helen Roche ...
    Series series The Macat Library
    Few historical problems are more baffling in retrospect than the conundrum of how Hitler was able to rise to power in Germany and then command the German people – many of whom had only marginal interest in or affiliation to Nazism – and the Nazi state. It took Ian Kershaw – author of the standard two-volume biography of Hitler – to provide a truly convincing solution to this problem. Kershaw's ... Read more

  • An Analysis of Timothy Snyder's Bloodlands

    Europe Between Hitler and Stalin

    by Helen Roche ...
    Series series The Macat Library
    A flagbearer for the increasingly fashionable genre of "transnational history," Timothy Snyder's Bloodlands is, first and foremost, a stunning example of the critical thinking skill of evaluation. Snyder's linguistic precocity allows him to cite evidence in 10 languages, putting fresh twists on the familiar story of World War II fighting on the Eastern Front from 1941-45. In doing so, he works to ... Read more

    Europe Between Hitler and Stalin

    by Helen Roche ...
    Narrated by John Chancer ...

    Unabridged

    1 hour 57 min

    Published in 2010, Bloodlands argues that accounts of World War II have paid too much attention to the atrocities of Adolf Hitler, and not enough to Joseph Stalin’s. Snyder believes a definitive history of the period must depict the suffering of all of the conflict’s victims. He claims people in the “bloodlands” Poland, the Baltic states, the Ukraine, and the eastern edge of Soviet Russia suffered ... Read more

    The Macat Analysis of Ian Kershaw's The "Hitler Myth"

    by Helen Roche ...
    Narrated by John Chancer ...

    Unabridged

    1 hour 47 min

    First published in 1980, The ‘Hitler Myth’ is recognized as one of the most important books yet written about Adolf Hitler and the Nazi State. Focusing on what he called the ‘history of everyday life,’ Kershaw investigated the attitude of the German people toward Hitler, rather than looking at the dictator from the perspective of those who had positions of power. Kershaw wanted to discover how ... Read more

  • Fascism

    by Roger Griffin ...
    Series series Key Concepts in Political Theory
    The word ‘fascism’ sometimes appears to have become a catch-all term of abuse, applicable to anyone on the political right, from Hitler to Donald Trump and from Putin to Thatcher. While some argue that it lacks any distinctive conceptual meaning at all, others have supplied highly elaborate definitions of its ‘essential’ features. It is therefore a concept that presents unique challenges for any ... Read more

  • An Analysis of Daniel Jonah Goldhagen's Hitler's Willing Executioners

    Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust

    by Simon Taylor, Tom Stammers ...
    Series series The Macat Library
    Daniel Goldhagen's study of the Holocaust offers conclusions that run directly counter to those reached by Christopher Browning, whose book Ordinary Men is also the subject of a Macat analysis. As such, the two analyses make possible some interesting critical thinking exercises focused on evaluation of the evidence used by the two historians. For Goldhagen, a chief reason for German actions was ... Read more

  • An Analysis of Christopher R. Browning's Ordinary Men

    Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland

    by Tom Stammers, James Chappel ...
    Series series The Macat Library
    Of all the controversies facing historians today, few are more divisive or more important than the question of how the Holocaust was possible. What led thousands of Germans – many of them middle-aged reservists with, apparently, little Nazi zeal – to willingly commit acts of genocide? Was it ideology? Was there something rotten in the German soul? Or was it – as Christopher Browning argues in this ... Read more

    by Dan Stone ...
    The 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 ... Read more
