Heinrich Himmler
\"In this, the first-ever comprehensive biography of the Reichsführer-SS, leading German historian Peter Longerich puts every aspect of Himmler's life under the microscope. Masterfully interweaving the story of Himmler's personal life and political career with the wider history of the Nazi dictatorship, Longerich shows how skillfully he exploited and manipulated his disparate roles in the pursuit of his far-reaching and grandiose objectives. In the process, he illuminates the extraordinary degree to which Himmler's own personal prejudices, idiosyncrasies, and predilections made their mark on the organizations for which he was responsible--especially the SS, which in so many ways bore the characteristic hallmarks of its leader, and whose history remains incomprehensible without a detailed and intimate knowledge of its deeply sinister commander-in-chief\"--Dust-jacket.

Leaders of the People? The Nazi Party and German Society
This article examines the attempt by the political organization of the Nazi Party (PO) to find a role for itself following the establishment of the Third Reich. Some within the new administration argued that, having achieved power, the Party was now superfluous and its propaganda functions should be absorbed within the new Propaganda Ministry. During 1933-35, Hitler pursued a dual policy of restraining any revolutionary initiatives, while at the same time reassuring the Party that it had an important future role within the regime without precisely defining what that role should be. The Office of the Führer's Deputy under Rudolf Hess and his Chief of Staff, Martin Bormann, developed a concept of the PO's role as Menschenführung, literally 'leadership of people', to provide them with the justification to intervene in all matters of state policy and action which affected 'people' and thereby to secure political leadership within the regime. This assertion was contested by the state authorities and by other party agencies, notably the SS, and was never fully achieved because of the polycratic nature of the regime. In practice, from 1936 onwards the PO's role was primarily exercised at district and local level and took the form of the implementation of an alternative concept, 'supervision' (Betreuung) of the German people through propaganda, indoctrination and ideological and social control.

Hitler : a biography
\"Historian Peter Longerich ... turns his attention to Adolf Hitler ... While many previous portraits have speculated about Hitler's formative years, Longerich focuses on his central role as the driving force of Nazism itself. You cannot separate the man from the monstrous movement he came to embody. From his ascendance through the party's ranks to his final hours as Fèuhrer in April 1945, Longerich shows just how ruthless Hitler was in his path to power. He emphasizes Hitler's political skills as Germany gained prominence on the world's stage. Hitler's rise to, and ultimate hold on, power was more than merely a matter of charisma; rather, it was due to his ability to control the structure he created. His was an image constructed by his regime--an essential piece self-created of propaganda. This comprehensive biography is the culmination of Longerich's life-long pursuit to understand the man behind the century's worst crimes\"-- Provided by publisher.

Book Review
The ivory tower under siege: German universities in the Third Reich
Examines relative ease with which universities adapted themselves to the new order. Suggests Nazis were able to inflict damage through purges and the introduction of indoctrination, but were unable to develop an alternative university model, partly because the leadership despised the academic world, and because of continuing commitment to traditional scholarship.
