Nazism was deeply rooted in German culture. From the fertile soil of German Romanticism sprang ideas of great significance for the genesis of the Third Reich ideology - notions of the individual as a mere part of the national collective, and of life as a ceaseless struggle between opposing forces.

Ultra-nationalism and totalitarianism, racial theory and anti-Semitism, nature mysticism and occultism, eugenics and social Darwinism, adoration of the F???hrer and glorification of violence - all are explored. The book also depicts the dramatic development of the Nazi movement, and the explosive impact of its political faith, racing from its bloody birth in the trenches of World War I to its cataclysmic climax in the Holocaust and World War II.
