The Enablers

A good read in the form of a book review by Adam Gopnik.  I’ve always been fascinated by America’s fascination with Hitler and Nazis.  This covers an alternate and perhaps more realistic story of the Nazi rise to power in Germany in the 1930s.  The failures were essentially on the inside, with various established actors thinking they could use the Nazi movement for their own purposes.  Perhaps not a spoiler, but they were wrong nearly every time.  From the New Yorker.  May require login.
