Reviews
"Despite its impressive range the collection is remarkably coherent ... [it] constitutes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the social base of Nazism." · Labor History
Description
Before seizing power the Nazi movement assembled an exceptionally broad social coalition of activists and supporters. Many were working class, but there remains considerable disagreement over the precise size and structure of this constituency and still more over its ideology and politics. An indispensable work for scholars of interwar Germany and Nazism in general.
