A masterful reconstruction of one of the worst Indian massacres in American history In April 1871, a group of Americans, Mexicans, and Tohono O?odham Indians surrounded an Apache village at dawn and murdered nearly 150 men, women, and children in their sleep. In the past century the attack, which came to be known as the Camp Grant Massacre, has largely faded from memory. Now, drawing on oral histories, contemporary newspaper reports, and the participants? own accounts, prize-winning author Karl Jacoby brings this perplexing incident and tumultuous era to life to paint a sweeping panorama of the American Southwest?a world far more complex, diverse, and morally ambiguous than the traditional portrayals of the Old West.

A magnum opus by the University of Bonn professor whose earlier work has contributed significantly to the academic understanding of the Nazi period, this was highly acclaimed when published in Germany (1969) and is hailed by Peter Gay in his introduction as ""the book on the Nazi period for a very long time to come."" It is a comprehensive treatment of the origins, the organization, and the machinery of the Nazi dictatorship, less an original interpretation than a masterly synthesis of the documentary evidence to date and the earlier researches of Bracher himself and other historians. He analyzes the strengths and argues the limitations of the major schools of thought on National Socialism--the ""vertical"" all-German-history-is-tainted position and the ""horizontal"" interpretation of fascism as a uniquely twentieth-century international phenomenon. On the question of how a dictatorial regime of such dimensions could come to power so quickly and with so little or no resistance in a country of Germany's traditions and cultural heritage, Bracher himself emphasizes the shortcomings of German policy from the early nineteenth century on and the fatal roots and crisis-ridden history of the Weimar Republic, but his study is of more value for its concrete explication of the Nazi totalitarian polity. The historical survey begins with the precursors in Germany and Austria of the Nazi movement, proceeds systematically through the rise and fall of the Third Reich, and ends with the manifestations of fight-wing extremism in the postwar German republics. Bracher is uneasy about the stability of German democracy, and concludes that the heritage of National Socialism--both negative (the danger of a relapse) and positive (the chance to learn from the past)--lives on. A major study of the Nazi regime, though without the popular readership appeal of the Shirer book.

(The Age of Ideologies presents a lucid and penetrating in...)
The Age of Ideologies presents a lucid and penetrating insight into the fundamental twentieth-century conflict between totalitarianism and democracy. In an age of woldwide upheaval, many ideals -liberal, conservative, socialist, revolutionary - have been translated into political action and have often resulted in crisis and dictatorship. Far from this century being an age of the "end of ideologies", we have witnessed the need for and the susceptibility to political ideologies. In tracing the history of political thought in this century, Karl Dietrich Bracher, a noted German scholar, shows how the violent disruptions of war and crisis have worked to create this vulnerability to ideological thinking. Indeed, he shows how the heightened role of ideologies in recent years gives new relevance to questions posed at the turn of the century.
