Bøker av Norman Rich

The Revolutions of 1848 swept away some of the foremost champions of international conservatism: new statesmen with new aims replaced them and dominated Europe in the latter half of the nineteenth century.

After an opening chapter that describes the treatment of the Jews in German society, the focus shifts to the government and administration of the conquered countries-ranging from those nations with a substantial population of ethnic Germans to those, such as the Balkan states, where few, if any, "Germanic" peoples could be found. To round out the account, Professor Rich also deals with Hitler's intentions toward countries and continents that never were brought into the Nazi empire. The volume provides a comprehensive picture of the world that would have existed had Hitler achieved the totality of his war aims.

"Dealing with the military phase of Hitler's expansion, Rich tells an absorbing story of Germany's relentless drive in every direction and provides a vivid account of the relations between Hitler and his newly acquired subjects and satellites." -Hans W. Gatzke, Political Science Quarterly
