Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-26 00:00:00 Mike Lemay Very very thoughtful book. It's mostly an intellectual history + film analysis. He argues that in the immediate postwar West Germany, (at least some) intellectuals blamed youth for Germany's deviant modernity, and pictured themselves (the old) as victims of youth. Isn't it interesting?

Review # 2 was written on 2018-04-12 00:00:00 Randall Mcgarvey This is a superb run down of the political, racial, economic, historical, ideological, and personal factors that allowed the Nazis to seize power in Germany. Books like this remind one that history is made by the combination of contingency, impersonal forces, and most of all personal choice.
