Culture in Nazi Germany

Michael H. Kater

“A much-needed study of the aesthetics and cultural mores of the Third Reich . . . rich in detail and documentation.” (Kirkus Reviews)   Culture was integral to the smooth running of the Third Reich. In the years preceding WWII, a wide variety of artistic forms were used to instill a Nazi ideology in the German people and to manipulate the public perception of Hitler’s enemies. During the war, the arts were closely tied to the propaganda machine that promoted the cause of Germany’s military campaigns.   Michael H. Kater’s engaging and deeply researched account of artistic culture within Nazi Germany considers how the German arts-and-letters scene was transformed when the Nazis came to power. With a broad purview that ranges widely across music, literature, film, theater, the press, and visual arts, Kater details the struggle between creative autonomy and political control as he looks at what became of German artists and their work both during and subsequent to Nazi rule.   “Absorbing, chilling study of German artistic life under Hitler” —The Sunday Times   “There is no greater authority on the culture of the Nazi period than Michael Kater, and his latest, most ambitious work gives a comprehensive overview of a dismally complex history, astonishing in its breadth of knowledge and acute in its critical perceptions.” —Alex Ross, music critic at The New Yorker and author of The Rest is Noise   Listed on Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles List for 2019   Winner of the Jewish Literary Award in Scholarship

Witness to Roswell 75th...

Thomas J. Carey, Donald R. Schmitt

“When I finished Witness to Roswell, I said to myself, ‘Case closed!’ for the very wealth and sheer weight of eyewitness testimony.”—George Noory, host, Coast to Coast AM This classic in the field of UFOology is filled with hard-hitting eyewitness testimony of one of the most important events of all time: the actual recovery of a UFO outside of Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. For more than 70 years, government authorities have led us to believe the wreckage was merely a very conventional weather balloon—but the witnesses who were there continue to tell a different story.Witness to Roswell once again provides a "can't put down" written account of what really transpired in Roswell decades ago. It pries loose the truth the government doesn't want us to know including the revelations of Walter Haut. This edition includes: A growing litany of deathbed confessions describing the "little people" recovered at the crash site.The most comprehensive time line of events ever published on this seminal event.The identity of the Boeing engineer called in to examine the exotic wreckage from the crash.What really took place at the Roswell base hospital and what nurse actually ordered the children’s caskets.The story of the soldier who wore gloves at the dinner table after guarding the "bodies." Clearly, the implications of this information are foreboding. One need only look at the fact that officials now have four explanations for this historic event—but to which one do all the witnesses testify on their deathbeds?Witness to Roswell once again demonstrates to the world that no statute of limitation applies to the truth: We are not alone. This anniversary edition includes a new introduction by the authors and additional material.

Africa on the Precipice - The...

Nnamdi Chiekwu

Africa on the Precipice (ATP) provides commentary on global geopolitics, economics, and world history, using African interests as a lens to give a different perspective on world events. The book specifically explores how and why Africa has not fared well in the ‘battle of civilizations’ (or global geopolitics) from the 15th century until present times. ATP also presents a bold blueprint to make African countries dominant on the international stage through an ideology originated by the author called ‘Afro-Hegemonism’.  
ATP sounds the alarm for African countries that they must undergo transformational socioeconomic restructuring by 2030. The consequence of not doing so, will see Africans continue to be a global underclass in a geopolitical landscape that is quickly evolving. Moreover, the ultimate price for not embracing revolutionary change now, could see Africans permanently lose their sovereignty, treasure, and freedom in the 21st century.
