Fascism & Totalitarianism
- Divided Memory
- Jeffrey Herf
- A significant new look at the legacy of the Nazi regime, this book exposes the workings of past beliefs and political interests on how--and how differently--the two Germanys have recalled the crimes of Nazism, from the anti-Nazi emigration of the 1930s through the establishment of a day of remembrance for the victims of National Socialism in 1996.

- Politics of Progressive Education
- Dennis Shirley
- In March 1933, Nazi storm troopers seized control of the Odenwaldschule, a small German boarding school founded in 1910 by educational reformer Paul Geheeb. Shirley explores how Nazi school reforms catalyzed Geheeb's alienation from the regime and galvanized his determination to close the school and leave Germany. Drawing on a wealth of unpublished documents, such as Geheeb's exhaustive correspondence with government officials and transcripts of combative faculty meetings, Shirley is able to reconstruct in detail the entire drama as it unfolded.

- Foreword by Eugen Weber
- The picturesque town of Dreux, 60 miles west of Paris, made history in 1983 when Jean-François Le Pen's National Front candidates made a startling electoral gain in the region making it the forerunner of neofascist advances across the nation. A trained historian who also served as the city's socialist mayor from 1977 to 1983, Gaspard gives us an evocative picture of the town in all its particularity, at the same time fitting it into a broader context.
