Download or read book Charisma and Fascism written by Antonio Costa Pinto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fascism remains a topic that fascinates both academic and general audiences. This is the first book to look systematically at the leaders of fascism and related movements in the inter-war era. It shows how fascist leaders came to personify their movements and why the Führeprinzip was applied in all fascist organizations. It also explains how fascist leadership was of a very particular kind: It was almost unlimited in political discipline and required complete subordination. The legitimacy was based on a very vague notion of 'the organic unity of the state and the people', giving the leaders competence to rule without accountability to a party organization or state bodies. Thus, we can observe in all fascist parties/movements a practical form of leadership where policies of 'split and rule' were common in absence of principles of representation and opposition feedbacks. The fascist führer was the leader, the party, the ideology - and when in power: the state itself. This book was previously published as a special issue of Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions.

Download or read book The Purge of Dutch Quislings written by Henry L. Mason and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is based on research which I conducted in the Netherlands in 1948 and 1949. In addition, I was able to rely on experiences and impressions of the 1944-1946 period, when I was stationed in the Low Countries as a United States Army Military Intelligence Officer. In my description of Dutch purge measures I have attempte~ to be as unbiased a judge as possible; whenever I was unable to arrive at a definite conclusion I con tented myself with describing the opposing points of view. I am quite aware that this attitude of "neutrality" may be criticized, not only by many ex-Resistance men who have become dis gusted with the alleged softness of the purge, but also by many others who appear equally dismayed about its severity. For purposes of comparison, readers who are familiar with action against collaborators in other countries - such as France, Italy, or the Balkans - may note that the Dutch purge was not dominated by considerations of party politics. All Dutchme- employers and workers, Protestants and Catholics, Conservatives and Socialists - had been united in their resistance against the enemy. Consequently, disagreements about purge measures did not follow class, religious, or party lines. The few Dutch Commu nists had never been able to dominate the Resistance; neither were they able to exploit the purge for their purposes. Thus, in Holland problems of collaboration and purge could be studied in their purest form, without consideration of other factors.
Download or read book In the Shadow of the Holocaust written by Michael Fleming and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-06 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the midst of the Second World War, the Allies acknowledged Germany's ongoing programme of extermination. In the Shadow of the Holocaust examines the struggle to attain post-war justice and prosecution. Focusing on Poland's engagement with the United Nations War Crimes Commission, it analyses the different ways that the Polish Government in Exile (based in London from 1940) agitated for an Allied response to German atrocities. Michael Fleming shows that jurists associated with the Government in Exile made significant contributions to legal debates on war crimes and, along with others, paid attention to German crimes against Jews. By exploring the relationship between the UNWCC and the Polish War Crimes Office under the authority of the Polish Government in Exile and later, from the summer of 1945, the Polish Government in Warsaw, Fleming provides a new lens through which to examine the early stages of the Cold War.

Download or read book 45 Years with Philips An Industrialist s Life written by Frederik Philips and published by Plunkett Lake Press. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frederik Philips is the son and nephew of the two brothers who in 1912 turned a family firm founded in 1891 into Philips NV which then grew in two generations from a small light bulb manufacturer to a worldwide company employing 380,000 people in 70 countries. In this first-person account, Frederik Philips tells the story of his growing responsibilities in the company, from a first job as a plant engineer, to his difficult years during World War II when, as one of four Board members of the company, he dealt with German Nazi-appointed administrators before having to go into hiding, and until the years 1961-1971 when he rose to the helm of the whole company. “It is to be hoped that industry itself will learn something from his views on its powers and, more particularly, its responsibilities.” — The Times (London) “Philips believes that the success of a company depends, not on structure or organisation, but on the attitudes of the people who work in it... As for the future, Philips is optimistic about the ability of his company to continue to play its part in bringing prosperity to the world... the primary objective remains the same — that Philips must be part of the cure, not of the disease, in the world.” — Financial Times (London) “Clearly, this book is as much a corporate history as it is the story of one man’s life... it is readable, often insightful, and sometimes exciting as we came to grasp the impact of one man’s leadership on a major industrial corporation’s struggle to survive a horrible war and its spectacular growth in peacetime.” — Stephen D. Bodayla, The Business History Review
Download or read book The Hitler Years Disaster 1940 1945 written by Frank McDonough and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Volume of a new chronicle of the Third Reich under Hitler's hand, ending with his death and Germany's disastrous defeat. In The Hitler Years: Disaster 1940-1945, Frank McDonough completes his brilliant two-volume history of Germany under Hitler’s Third Reich. At the beginning of 1940, Germany was at the pinnacle of its power. By May 1945, Hitler was dead and Germany had suffered a disastrous defeat. Hitler had failed to achieve his aim of making Germany a super power and had left her people to cope with the endless shame of the Holocaust. Despite Hitler's grand ambitions and the successful early stages of the Third Reich's advances into Europe, Frank McDonough convincingly argues that Germany was only ever a middle-ranking power and never truly stood a chance against the combined forces of the Allies. In this second volume of The Hitler Years, Professor Frank McDonough charts the dramatic change of fortune for the Third Reich and Germany's ultimate defeat.
