  • A Conversation with John Lukacs William Pencak Penn State University
    271 A Conversation with John Lukacs William Pencak Penn State University "Thetentades of the suburban octopus are slouching ahead, pouring ceaseless cement, swarming with a hideous flow of cars and crowds shuffling in shopping malls, dicking computers, wanging videos, hiving in hotels, bombinating in bars, a compound of the mental (and sometimes the physical) dimatce of California 0 272 and Siberia." ' I knew whatJohn Lukacs had written about when on one of the few days this past February when I could drive my car without fear for my life, I passed through the Valley Forge intersection where the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Schuylkill Expressway, Routes 202, 422, and God knows what else come together in the presence of three huge shopping malls and numerous hotels, one of which contains fantasy suites where couples may (or may not) enjoy the illusion of escaping to an era more romantic in spirit. But to find a different world, all you really have to do is drive about five miles west. Although there are some gas stations and modern red-brick churches, old Pennsylvania farm houses and some newer dwellings are pleasantly scattered over the landscape. This isJohn Lukacs's world. This historian, author of seventeen books who last December retired after forty-six years of teaching at Chestnut Hill College and who turned seventy this January, has worked as hard as anyone to preserve the environment, in addition to the name, of Schuylkill Township. "Enchanted" may be the word to describe the countryside where Professor Lukacs has made his home for over forty years, and which he so poetically evokes.

  • June 1941: Hitler and Stalin'
    H-German Fritz on Lukacs, 'June 1941: Hitler and Stalin' Review published on Thursday, February 1, 2007 John Lukacs. June 1941: Hitler and Stalin. New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 2006. xii + 169 pp. $25.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-300-11437-9. Reviewed by Stephen G. Fritz (Department of History, East Tennessee State University) Published on H-German (February, 2007) The Duel, Lite: Less Satisfying, Less Filling Over the years John Lukacs has distinguished himself through a series of books in which he has reinterpreted well-known events and brought a fresh perspective to existing evidence. In works such as The Last European War (1976), 1945: Year Zero (1978), The Duel: The Eighty-Day Struggle between Churchill and Hitler (1991), and The Hitler of History (1997), among others, Lukacs challenged the reader to cast aside preconceived notions and to think afresh about the events he was discussing. Always more analytical and interpretive than narrative in his style, Lukacs could be relied upon to inject refreshing insights into the historiography. In a sense, this book follows the same pattern. Lukacs aims to provide a penetrating new view of the relationship between Hitler and Stalin, one that will energize the debate over Hitler's decision to wage war against the Soviet Union. But this volume, unlike Lukacs's other works, is unsatisfying for, in truth, despite the glowing testimonials on the book jacket cover, he offers little in the way of a novel reinterpretation of Hitler's decision, nor does he provide much that is unique in his assessment of Stalin.

  • Seduction, Delusion, & Politics
    Seduction, Delusion, & Politics: Culture within the Nazi Control System A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with distinction in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University By Andrew R Scott The Ohio State University December 2010 Project Advisors: Professor John Davidson, Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures Professor Alan Beyerchen, Department of History “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing.” -Edmund Burke Contents Foreword……………………………………………………….1 Introduction…………………………………………………...2 Germany & the Populace………………………………….16 Hitler & Himmler……………………………………………….29 Hitler‟s Agents…………………………………………………36 Conclusion…………………………………………………….45 Appendixes……………………………………………………49 Bibliography…………………………………………………..52 1 Foreword The central themes of this theoretical work draw heavily on the social- psychological and historical interpretations produced by Philip Zimbardo and Christopher Browning, respectively. Though this is a case-study of the control system which would ultimately be implemented by the Nazis during their reign of control in Germany from 1933 to 1945, it is important to understand that the ideas put forth here are not intended to insinuate that manipulations of culture have been confined to a single epoch, rather they occur and have occurred throughout time. The contention here is that the immediate history of the German state, the pre-existing fodder for in- group and out-group distinctions, and the authoritative political and social structures combined with the ideological rhetoric and material tactics of the National Socialists to facilitate participation in atrocities by zealots and ordinary citizens alike. The work includes an introduction which shall serve to define the terms that will be discussed throughout, three middle sections titled “Germany and the Populace,” “Hitler and Himmler,” and “Hitler‟s Agents,” and a conclusion to summarize the main ideas.

  • Political Radicalism: Comparing Communism and Fascism GVPT 459X
    1 Political Radicalism: Comparing Communism and Fascism GVPT 459X Tyd 1118 Th 2:00pm – 4:45pm University of Maryland Fall 2019 Professor Vladimir Tismaneanu Office: 1135C, Tydings Hall Office hours: Tuesdays and Thursday: 12:30-1:30, or by appointment [email protected] This course will examine the main similarities and distinctions between communist and fascist radical ideologies, movements, and political systems. The course will highlight the centrality of ideology in totalitarian experiments and the relationship between ideology and terror as underpinnings of the ideocratic despotisms. Class discussions will focus on the main theories regarding the rise, structure, and functioning of the the Stalinist and Nazi dictatorships. We will explore the contemporary imlications of totalitarianism. The main historical personalities (charismatic leaders) examined in this course will be Lenin, Stalin, Hitler. We will also discuss other cases such as Mussolini, Mao, Enver Hoxha, Ceausescu, Castro. Lectures and readings will focus the relationship between the Russian revolutionary tradition and the Bolshevik political culture; the interpretation of communism and fascism as political religions (secular messianisms). We will explore the relationship between totalitarianism and evil. Requirements Students are required to read the assigned readings before each class period. In addition, students are expected to read one newspaper on a daily basis (either Washington Post or New York Times). 2 Participation in class discussions is strongly encouraged. Grades will be based on an in class midterm exam, one unannounced quiz, a final take home exam and class participation. Extra credit can be earned by preparing a short class presentation on a relevant topic; the time and details must first be approved by the teaching assistant and the professor.

  • Whealey on Jones, 'Hitler in Vienna, 1907-1913: Clues to the Future'
    H-German Whealey on Jones, 'Hitler in Vienna, 1907-1913: Clues to the Future' Review published on Monday, March 1, 2004 J. Sydney Jones. Hitler in Vienna, 1907-1913: Clues to the Future. New York: Cooper Square Press, 2002. xi + 350 pp. $24.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8154-1191-8. Reviewed by Robert Whealey (Department of History, Ohio University)Published on H-German (March, 2004) Hitler's Austrian Life to 1913 Hitler's Austrian Life to 1913 Part I: Hitler This book is praised on the dust cover by The Baltimore Sun and The Philadelphia Inquirer as well written. Gordon Craig, emeritus professor at Stanford University, tells us that journalist J. Sydney Jones captures the atmosphere of Vienna 1907 to 1913. Professional biographer and freelance novelist Robert Payne also endorses the book, and this endorsement more than any of the others suggests Jones' forte. Payne (1911-1982) had written about two dozen popular biographies including a competent, non-scholarly one of Hitler. Yet few professional historians would cite Payne in a footnote. Using the popular Payne as a model, at least in style, Jones synthesizes very well the works of Alan Bullock, Robert Waite, Werner Maser, Bradley F. Smith, John Toland, memoirist August Kubizek and Franz Jetzinger (Hitlers Jugend: Phantasien, Luegen und die Wahrheit [Vienna, 1956]) and Hitler's own Mein Kampf. As a reprint, originally published in 1983, the author misses Ian Kershaw's Hitler, 1889-1936: Hubris, Vol. 1 (1999), and John Lukacs's The Hitler of History (1998). A major virtue of the book is that the contents deliver exactly what the title purports; thus Jones has written a third study of Hitler and Vienna.

Email: [email protected] Nazism and Stalinism left an indelible mark on the histories of Europe, Russia and Eurasia in the twentieth century, and the memories and legacies of these political regimes are still subjects of controversy in the region today. This course will engage in a comparative study of the politics, society, and cultures of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union under Stalin. Scholars and theorists of totalitarianism have often pointed towards similarities between the two regimes focusing on such factors as the leadership cult, role of the party, emphasis on the mobilization of the masses, and the erosion of boundaries between the private and the public. Yet, there were also substantial differences in the workings of the two systems in terms of the relationship between state and society, dynamics of inclusion and exclusion, and the role of violence in constructing each regime’s respective social utopia. In this course, we will aim to read these two histories in tandem, comparing and contrasting the regimes, pointing to both similarities and differences.

    Winston Churchill's Evolving Views of Russia, 1917-1953, Reconsidered http://www.carnegiecouncil.org/resources/transcripts/0144.html/:pf_print... Winston Churchill's Evolving Views of Russia, 1917-1953, Reconsidered Historical Retrospectives Symposium John Lukacs , Nicholas X. Rizopoulos April 1, 2009 Introduction Remarks Discussion Introduction NICHOLAS RIZOPOULOS: I'm Nick Rizopoulos. Welcome to the first of these experimental symposia that we are trying out for the first time at the Carnegie Council. I think—in fact, I'm positive—that they are going to be very successful. How can they not be, since we start with John Lukacs as our guest? Winston Churchill, by Yousuf Karsh, 1941. The idea is to try something different. As some of you know, for the last dozen years or so, I have been running something called the Foreign Policy Roundtable here for a very small group of people, in a seminar format, mostly journalists and editors. Now the time has come to do something else that I have always loved doing, which is this historical retrospective, which at different times in my career I have tried out, in the old Lehrman Institute 20 years ago and then later at the Council on Foreign Relations . I thought, with Joel Rosenthal 's encouragement, that we should see if it might work even better in this particularly cozy setting of the Carnegie Council, and thanks to a nice little grant from the Carnegie Corporation , through the good offices of my dear friend Steve Del Rosso , we are able to do these two symposia, one today, one in May, as you know.

Penguin UK and Deborah Lipstadt: Building a Defense Strategy, an Essay by Deborah Lipstadt In September 1996, I received a letter from the British publisher of my book, Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory,' informing me that David Irving had filed a Statement of Case with the Royal High Court in London indicating his intention to sue me for libel for calling him a Holocaust denier in my book. 2 When I first learned of his plans to do this, I was surprised. Irving had called the Holocaust a "legend." In 1988, the Canadian government had charged a German emigre, Ernst Ztndel, with promoting Holocaust denial. Irving, who had testified on behalf of the defense at this trial, told the court that there was no "overall Reich policy to kill the Jews," that "no documents whatsoever show that a Holocaust had * Dr. Deborah E.
