Allyson Fiddler

Sovereignty, Social Science and Democracy in the 20th Century

Rolf Steininger
For more than a hundred years, persistent conflict in the Middle East has led global superpowers like Germany to become involved.

Read Introduction
Forthcoming
THE ARKANSAS REGULATORS
Friedrich Gerstäcker
Translated and edited by Charles Adams and Christoph Irmscher
Volume 5, Transatlantic Perspectives
The Arkansas Regulators is a rousing tale of frontier adventure, first published in German in 1846, but virtually lost to English readers for well over a century. Written in the tradition of James Fenimore Cooper, but offering a much darker and more violent image of the American frontier, this was the first novel produced by Friedrich Gerstäcker, who would go on to become one of Germany’s most famous and prolific authors.

FASCISM WITHOUT BORDERS
Transnational Connections and Cooperation between Movements and Regimes in Europe from 1918 to 1945
Edited by Arnd Bauerkämper and Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe
“The book makes a convincing and significant contribution towards reconstructing Fascist and authoritarian regimes in the interwar period, regimes that still conceal many grey areas today. It does so in a way that is not always linear, but this aspect also has a positive side, insofar as it implies working to keep open a debate that still has not found its synthesis.” • HISTORY. Reviews of New Books
